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.

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 earlier. Third quarter prices are expected to be 33 cents a dozen— also about two cents under those of July-September 1960. TURKEY INCREASE A substantial increase in tur key production is expected in 1961 —perhaps as much as 10 per cent above 1960. The percentage in crease in the bronze and two-way heavy whites will be greater than in the light breeds. This will probably result in September-Dec ember, 1961 U. S. average farm prices % cents less than the ap proximate 26 cent year earlier average. The poultry survey committee announced that their next meet ing will be held March 2-3, 1961. The group meets four times a year to forecast prices and pro duction and consumption trends for poultry products. Don't forget boys and girls that 4-H Camp is not very far away.

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.
