Beef cow slaughter could increase seasonally over the next sever- al weeks as cow-calf producers cull their herds prior to winter supplemental feeding. USDA reports that the general eco- nomic picture continues to weigh on beef and cattle sectors as reduced retail demand works back through wholesale and live cattle markets. Generally favor- able pasture conditions are not enough to improve the price outlook for cattle and beef. USDA projects the 2009 aver- age price for Nebraska Choice steers at $83.32/cwt or about $9 lower than the 2008 average. For 2010, USDA has a price range of $87-94.

U.S. oats have a top yield Oats production in 2009/10 is esti- mated at 93 million bushels, up four million from 2008/09. The estimated yield from USDA is at a record high 67.6 bushels per acre, up 3.9 bushels from 2008. Compared with last year, yields increased for most states in the western third of the country and for several Appalachian states. Harvested area of 1.4 million acres is down slightly from last year and is the smallest on record, continuing a steady downward trend. Total supplies for 2009/10 are forecast at 272 million bushels. Ending stocks are projected at 74 million bushels, down from 84 mil- lion in 2008/09. The 2009/10 projected oats farm price range from USDA is $1.85-$2.15 per bushel, compared with $3.15 per bushel in 2008/09.

Some of Kentucky’s top market operators, in fact, would struggle mightily if not for the surge of customers seeking pump- kins, mums and other items that mark the season of Halloween and falling leaves. Jackson’s Orchard just north of Bowling Green long ago figured out how to cash in on this colorful time of year. Like many of its counterparts throughout Kentucky, Jackson’s holds “fall festivals” through every weekend in October and enjoys a tremendous response. Thousands of area residents flock to the picturesque grounds atop a hill overlooking a valley of the Barren River. There’s something for everyone; particularly kids, who can enjoy a giant slide, inflatables, face painting, hay rides, apple picking, slushies, popcorn, candy and hot dogs, fresh from a New York-style cart. Hundreds of pumpkins, priced at a modest $6 each, dot the grounds along with mums, gourds and other seasonal plants. The smell of fresh baked apple pie wafts through the crowded market center. Apple cider and apple slushies are available at an adjacent outbuilding. “This is a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon with the family,” said Julie Henson of Bowling Green as she was tagging behind her two young boys Pumpkins were who were sprinting toward the slide. plentiful throughout “It’s beautiful up here; we like to pick the state this year. apples.” “We like the cider and the mums are always nice,” said Ellen Shea, also of Bowling Green.
