A new report says increases in organic livestock production in the U.S. should lead to more demand for organic feed grains.
Ag economist Ryan Koory with Mercaris tells Brownfield for the 2017/2018 marketing year, organic boiler slaughter increased by seven percent, on top of a 20 percent year over year growth the prior marketing year. “In terms of total volumes of meal demand increases, it means significant growth of how much soybeans, corn and wheat are moving into the animal feed supply chain.” Organic egg production increased by 11 percent during the same period.
