U.S. Cuts Slaughter in Nonfederal Plants For Stock Channel
The government moves to reduce slaughter at 27 000 non federally inspected plants by diverting more cattle and hogs to federally inspected facilities. Subsidies will pay 50 cents to $2 per hundredweight for cattle and $1.50 per hundredweight for hogs on 70 percent of 1944 volume, preserving output levels for these plants while limiting civilian meat supply in areas served by non federally inspected operations. The plan increases federal intake of beef and pork from federally inspected plants.
