Feed grain supply for is estimated to be the lowest since 1957. At the same time the potential feed grain demand is significantly greater. The cattle inventory is over 40% larger than in 1957 with poultry numbers up'80% and hog numbers up about However, the dairy herd is more than 40% smaller than in 1957. The short feed grain supply means a substantial reduction in availability for domestic and export markets, substantially higher prices, and significant adjustments for the livestock sector. The readjustment difficulties are further aggravated by continued increases in production costs and family living expenses and the downturn in the general economy.
