The Virginia Department of Agriculture notes price uncertainty for farm goods with broilers forecast to rise by about a penny in coming weeks before seasonal demand slackens in mid September. National supplies lag last year, eggs set are down around 15 percent, and Virginia broilers hover near 15 to 16 cents per pound. Orchard grass seed faces a 38 percent drop from last year with tight quality seed. Danish seed arrivals help offset shortages. Feeder calves expected good prices this fall as slaughter matches last year. cattle on feed tops 4.7 million head in July. Colorado steers fetch about 36.50 per cwt, Texas/Oklahoma calves 34–38, with calves overall seen strong. Grass fat cattle should be moved now if finished.
