Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poultry and Egg Situation, Vol. 194: March 1958 Broiler prices in February and early Mob increased further following the sharp rises that occurred in early January. At and cents per pound, respectively, the mid-january and mid-february U. S. Average prices in producing areas were and cents above the year before. The mid-december 1957 price was cents per pound. While the price increases were partly seasonal, they were affected also by cold weather, continued high prices for red meats and by reports of high death losses now curbed in some broiler flocks. During these months of increased prices, broiler production was about 9 percent above last year, and recent placements and egg settings indicate that production between mid-march and mid-year will exceed 1957 by 10 percent. Turkey hatchings in recent months, covering 15 to 20 percent of a normal season's hatchings, have been only three-fourths of a year earlier. Farmers' January intentions were to raise about the same number of turkeys as the record million in 1957. The 1958 output is likely to fall short of the intentions, in which case prices late in the year would increase slightly compared with 1957. Current prices for turkey hens from storage are a few cents per pound higher than last year, but toms are lower. Present marketings from farms are near the season's low. The U. S. Average farm price for the relatively few sales was cents in mid-february, cents above the september-january average which included the bulk of sales from the 1957 crop.
