Jim Frier notes dairy returns unlikely to match 1972 as feed costs rise and milk production lags. ISU economist Gene Futrell cites soybean meal near 400 per ton and central Iowa corn around 1.90 per bushel, with milk cows dropping nationally and in Iowa. Prices to farmers rise while dairy product purchases shrink.
