Excerpt from The Poultry and Egg Situation: May-June, 1950In view of these indications of ample supplies, and despite continued high consumer incomes, egg prices are expected to continue sharply lower than a year before. The seasonal recovery of prices later this year is likely to be slow. In mid-may, the U. S. Average farm price of eggs was cents per dozen, resulting in a cent average to date for 1950. Seasonally ad justed, this 5 month average is equivalent to an annual average price of about cents. The average for the 12 months of was cents.Supplies of chicken meat from farm production are increasing seasonally and marketings of broilers from specialized producing areas are large. The U. S. Average price received by farmers for chickens in mid-may was cents per pound.
