Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Poultry and Egg Situation: March, 1949
Farm chicken prices in mid-february, at 29 5 cents per pound, were 1. 2 cents lower than a month earlier but still 3. 5 cents higher than a year earlier.' nevertheless, the cents-per pound decline from January 15 to February 15 -was the largest on record for that month. This probably reflects toea considerable extent the increasing production of commercial broilers during the winter months. Poultry supplies during this period are relatively larger than they used to be when storage stocks were the major source. 'weaknesses at this time of the year in prices received by farmers for chickens, principally hens indicate the high degree of competition between the various market classes and the increased importance of commercial broilers in the poultry meat supply.
