Pat Sullivan, McHenry county Home Economics Extension adviser, says these are the most popular consumer questions. The facts are: For two years poultrymen lost money in egg production. As a result, many cut down on the number of layers purchased and kept for production. Now, stored egg supplies have been reduced. Thus, fewer eggs available at higher cost. However, economists think the prices will decline in early April. On-the-other-hand, econo­ mists suggest beef prices will continue to increase into the spring. Why? Increased feed costs due to weather conditions during growing and harvesting seasons is one reason. A second reason as important is that like the poultrymen, livestock raisers cut back their herds when beef prices were low. Result is less beef available for an increased consumer demand, thus raising the price. Pat says for those people who reminisce about the good old days when prices were lower, in 1920 eggs sold for 68 cents a dozen!
