Oregon Farm Prices
Show October Gains,
Says OSC Economist
Oregon farm prices rose in Oct
ober, gaining back the ground
lost in September, according to
Mrs. Elvera Horrell, extension
agricultural economist at Ore
gon State college.
As a result, farm prices in the
state are now at the same level
as in August about one percent
higher than a year ago Mrs.
Horrell said. In contrast to the
local situation, national farm
prices turned downward.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kelly and
Luann and Shannon left the end
of last week for their home in
Everett, Wash, after a visit of
two weeks at the home of her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond
Ferguson.
Mrs. E. K. Schaffitz and Mrs.
Raymond Ferguson left today
(Thursday) for a few days in
Portland.
Reviewing reports from the U.
S. department of agriculture,
Mrs. Horrell found that livestock
prices held about steady in Ore
gon, as lower prices on most
meat animals and wool offset
price gains in dairy products and
eggs. Prices received for farm
crops in Oregon moved upward
and higher prices for grains, po
tatoes, vegetables, and seeds
more than offset lower hay, fruit
and nut prices.
On the cost side of the ledger,
Oregon farmers paid less for
millrun, mixed dairy feed, lay
ing mash, scratch grain and
broiler mash. Alfalfa hay cost the
state's farmers more last month
than in September, but cotton
seed meal and soygean meal held
about the same. All of these feed
costs were lower than in October
1956.
Farm wage rates in Oregon are
running higher than a year ago,
Mrs. Horrell also reported.
Nationally, farm products felt
a tightening of the squeeze as
prices dipped lower while costs
held about the same. Mostly re
sponsible for the decline over the
nation were lower price tags on
most meat animals, oranges, corn
and cotton. These were partially
offset by higher prices for dairy
products and eggs.
Despite the decline, national
farm prices are still around three
percent above a year earlier, Mrs.
Horrell said.
