LAFAYETTE - Lower prices irregular soybean prices . . . higher fed cattle quotations and lower hog prices Purdue university agricultural economists see these as likely price trends for major farm commodities during the next few weeks Com prices are expected to work lower as harvest approaches Noting the July 1 crop report indicates a five per cent larger crop this year than last, the economists add that if this prospect continues and usage remains high "it is expected that August contract prices will remain attractive." Soybean prices are likely to fluctuate widely around late July levels until more precise information on the 1970 crop is available. Indicated heavy demand may keep new crop prices well above 1989 levels, the economists say. Fed cattle prices are expected to rise during the next few weeks. Beef production probably will run two to four per cent above year ago levels with choice steers at Chicago averaging in the s3l $33 per hundredweight range How marketings are increasing seasonally and cyclically. Market weights are averaging above year earlier levels Thus,
prices are expected to trend lower into the fall months. A substantial increase in the fall pig crop is expected. While prices are still at profitable levels, "some producer restraint on production would seem warranted,’’ the economists assert Hoosier dairymen can expect late summer and early fall prices to continue about 15 to 25 cents higher than those of last year. Egg prices are expected to fluctuate around mid-July levels <43 cents a dozen for Grade A large and wholesale in Chicago*

High Corn Yield In Prospect LAFAYETTE — Indiana's 1970 corn crop appears on its way to another high yield, according to state-federal agricultural statisticians at Purdue university. As of July 1 they forecast a yield of 94 bushels an acre, two bushels fewer than the record established in 1969.

The almost five million acres to be harvested for grain are seven per cent larger than the 1969 acreage. ’ Wheat and oat production in Indiana, however, is 14 per cent smaller than last year.
