Prices of car- rots and onions should decrease throughout the season due to large supplies. Food prices will continue to increase in 1979 but not as much as in 1978. This was the subject for much dis- cussion at the December Agricultural Outlook Confer- ence held in Ottawa, Agricul- ture Canada economists met with farm,leaders, con- sumers, agribusinessmen, wholesalers and retailers to study food supplies and trends for the coming year. Here are some predictions on the probably market situ- ation of some Canadian agri- culture foods and food pro- ditets in 1979. MEAT - Beef supplies will be lower this year by about S to 10 per cent. The down- ward trend will likely con- tinue for two or three years. Accordingly, prices will remain relatively high. There will be more pork available in 1979 but the The market Friday at Brussels StoCkyards was very active with fat cattle trading from $3.00 to $5.00 cwt. higher, all weights of pigs sold at higher prices on a light offering due to weather conditions. There were 401 cattle and 585 pigs on offer. Choice Steers - 73.00 to 75.00 with sales to 76.00. Good steers - 70.00 to 72.00.

Four steers consigned by the Morrison Bros. of Luckk- 01 U 114-0 1111, IEVEnV.THOND MAPiNtii reduced supply of beef should keep pork prices up, Prices could be somewhat lower in the second half of 1979. POULTRY AND EGGS - Broiler chicken production will likely continue to in- crease 8 or 9 per cent above last year. Current prices will continue in 1979. In the second half of the year, increased supplies of chicken turkey and pork may result in more of these products being substituted for beef. Turkey prices should be lower later in the year when supplies increase. Eggs should be in ade- quate supply for all purposes but if there is an increase in egg consumption in 1979 it will require increased production. DAIRY PRODUCTS - The price for fresh milk is expect- ed to be higher than in 1978. now averaging 1093 lbs. sold for 73.35. Choice Heifers - 70.00 to 73.00 with sales to 73.75. Good Heifers 68.00 to 70.00. A heifer consigned by Earl Fitch of R.R.1, Wroxeter weighing 1200 lbs. sold for 73.7S with his 56 heifers averaging 1035 lbs. selling for an overall price of 72.76. Dairymen invited Dairymen in Huron County are invited to take part in a one day educational program on the handling and feeding of high moisture corn to dairy cows.

Production and consumption of ice cream is expected to rise slightly, while yogurtpro- duction should continue to expand. On the other hand, not as much butter will be produced or consumed. Skim milk powder production will also decline. FRUIT AND VEGETABLE - Apple supplies will be. adequate although prices will be similar to or above last year's prices. Despite a large North American crop and an above average European crop, the effect is being offset by higher prices for imported apples due to the lower value of the Canadian dollar, The exchange rate will also increase the price of A heifer consigned by Doug Machan of Brussels weighing 970 lbs. sold for 70.50 with his lot of 18 heifers averaging 873 lbs. selling for 69.30.

We can expect more imports of fresh tender fruits because of inadequate pro- duction in Canada. As demand increases, there will be more direct sales of fruit from producer to consumer. Prices of most canned fruit and some vegetables will increase due to lower domes- tic supplies. Demand for canned and frozen vege- tables should rise as fresh vegetable prices increase. The large stocks of frozen vegetables should result in some price decrease. Canadian potato prices are above 1978 low levels but will not rise significantly in the next few months because of the large North American Good Cows - 54.00 to 57.00.
