25-35 Missouri Agricultural Market Prices and Trends-Bulletin 35
Missouri Weekly Agricultural Market Prices and Trends
AGRICULTURAL MARKET PRICES BULLETIN
Edited by Dr Eleazar Gonzalez
This weekly bulletin aims to provide market prices and trends of the main Missouri agricultural products. It helps Missouri stakeholders, including farmers, ranchers, and consumers, make informed decisions when marketing and finding prices for farm products. Agricultural products include two categories: Animal-origin products and plantorigin products. Prices indicate the average weekly value of each product. The bulletin offers prices for selected crops and livestock products. When data is available, the publication reports beeflivestock market prices paid at live auctions in five regions of Missouri (Southwest, Northeast, Central Region, Southeast, and Northwest). In addition, other livestock market prices, such as sheep, goats, pork, whole milk, and eggs, are also reported. All information and discussion in this bulletin are the responsibility of the authors If you want more information on the previous publication, visit our Agricultural Economics and Marketing program website.
SPECIALTY CROPS MARKETS
The bulletin displays market prices of selected crops that consumers demand throughout the year. This week’s publication shows specialty crop market price trends of conventional crops. Crop market prices from organic production systems were unavailable this week. Price volatility was observed among different products from non-organic growing systems. Market price reports are updated weekly; however, some of our source reports may be inconsistent with the weekly product prices. If a product has no price, our source didn't report a price that week. Red numbers imply that prices dropped from the previous week, while green numbers indicate a positive trend change compared with last week's prices.
