Lower Egg Prices For 1961
‘‘Favorable egg prices will
cause the egg-type chick hatch
during the first half of 1961 to
be about 10-12 per cent above a
year earlier. If this increase oc
curs, returns to producers for the
laying year beginning October,
1961 will be significantly lower
than for the current laying year.
"Turkey production in 1961 may
be as much as 10 per ceut above
1960. With these supplies, turkey
prices during September-Decem
ber, 1961 may average 3-4 cents
below a year earlier.
"Broiler production is expected
to increase again in 1961. Jan
uary-March US farm prices may
average 16-17 cents. Summer
prices are expected to average 15
cents compared with the 17 plus
cents for the same period of
1960. ”
So states the poultry survey
committee, comprised of four top
college poultry economists, in
cluding Dr. Anthony Stemberger
at North Carolina State College.
PRODUCTION INCREASE
Here’s a more detailed report
from the committee:
The stage is set for another
broiler production increase in
1961. Favorable broiler returns
during the past year have en
abled the industry to improve its
capital position, decreasing the
need for outside credit for ex
pansion. Ample credit for 1961
expansion is expected to be avail
able.
The number of pullet chicks
sold by primary breeders has in
creased almost 30 per cent in
the past six months. Therefore,
supplies of hatching eggs are ex
pected to be substantially in
creased in the last three quarters
of 1961. This will mean a decrease
-Hr-- __
in the price of chicks—reducing
broiler production costs by per
haps one cent or more per pound.
Feed prices will also average
lower than in 1960.
LOWER PRICES
January-March US farm prices
will average 16-17 cents, lower
than 1960’s average of about 17.5
cents. Summer broiler prices are
expected to average about 15
cents compared with 17 plus cents
for the same period of 1960 and
about 16 cents in 1959.
Recent placements and egg
settings point to marketings in
the January-March quarter about
10 per cent higher than the same
quarter of 1960. In addition to the
expected increase in supplies over
year earlier levels, broilers will
be subjected to more competitive
pressures as 1961 progresses. In
creasing supplies of pork, turkey
and beef will be marketed during
the year.
Recent egg prices and those ex
pected during the first quarter of
1961 will stimulate an increased
hatch of about 10-12 per cent
during the first half of next year.
Most of the increased hatch will
come during January-April. If
the expected increase in hatch
materializes, returns to producers
will average significantly lower
during the laying year beginning
in October 1961. Under these con
ditions, egg pricesishrdlshrdlshruu
ditions, egg prices in October
December 1961 would be 10 cents
or more below those of a year
earlier.
RETURN IN 1960
The laying flock on Jan. 1,
1961, is likely to be about four
per cent under a year earlier, but
by midyear will return to 1960
levels. However, during the second

quarter of 1961 market egg sup
plies are expected to rise above
a year earlier because of a slight
increase in the rate of lay.
U. S. average farm egg prices
during January-March, 1961 are
expected to be around 35 cents,
five cents above the same period
of 1960. April-June prices are ex
pected to average 31 cents or
about two cents below a year

expected to be 33 cents a dozen—
also about two cents under those

TURKEY INCREASE
A substantial increase in tur
key production is expected in 1961
—perhaps as much as 10 per cent

in the light breeds. This will

Several Varieties Pass Rules For
To Be Discounted Plumbing Work
Tobacco Program Will Be
Operated This Year Along
Same Lines Followed In
Recent Years
Prices for flue-cured tobacco
from dicount varieties will be on
one-half the support rates for
comparable grades of other var
ieties in 1961.
This is a contribution of the
variety discount program that
was operated this year by ASC,
according to Lonnie Evans, chair
man of the Brunswick County
committee for the Agriculture
Stabilization and Conservation Co
mmittee. According to Evans, dis
count varieties have been classi
fied by State and Federal scien
tists located in this area as “low
to lacking in flavor and aroma,
generally of light body, and or
currently with poor acceptance in
the trade.”
In order to avoid the possi
bility of a farmer unknowingly
planting a discounted variety,
farmers should procure their seed
only from reliable sources. Only
in this manner will the farmer be
able to certify that he is not
planting one of the discounted
varieties.
According to Evans, the quota
of 1,212 million pounds, converted
to acres, results in 715,817, acres
available for allotment in 1961.
Acreage available for allotment
in 1960 totaled 715,110 acres.
The increase in North Caarolina
amounts to one tenth of one per
cent. This one tenth of one per
cent is required to be used for
adjusting allotments, that is, for
correcting errors, and for adjust
ing inequities. Thus, for most
farms, 1961 allotments will be the
same as in 1960.
In a referendum December 15,
1958, a total of 96 percent of the
State's flue-cured tobacco growers
voted in favor of quotas through
1961. Marketing quotas have been
in effect for flue-cured tobacco
every year since enactment of
the Agricultural Act of 1938 ex
cept for 1939, when they were
disapproved by growers.
