Description

Excerpt from The Demand and Price Situation<br/><br/>Current prospects indicate that soybean prices to farmers probably will continue firm through mid-summer. Prices after that time will be influenced by prospects for the new crops. Crusher and export demand through the remainder of the current marketing year is expected to be as strong as last year and the supply of beans will be slightly smaller. Domestic use of feed grains in 1959-60 is expected to be about 7 mil lion tons above the 137 million tons consumed last year, and exports are expected to at least equal last year's record million tons. Prospects for the winter wheat crop have improved this Spring and 1960 production is now estimated at 992 million bushels. First estimate of the Spring cr0p will be published June 10. The 1960 peach crop in the Southern commercial peach states is expected to be a little larger than the big 1959 cr0p. This year's strawberry crop is expected to be moderately smaller than the 1959 crop and slightly below average. Overall supplies of fresh vegetables are expected to increase rapidly during the next A to 6 weeks and prices will decline seasonally) Intentions reports for 9 important vegetables for processing indicate plans to plant or contract 2 percent more than last year.
