Meat Prices Expected High Through 1975 Says USDA
USDA economists warn meat prices will stay relatively high through 1975 with possible declines in the last quarter. Pork shortages from a poor corn crop in 1974 keep hog and pork prices rising later this summer and fall. Beef prices have slid slightly from July highs and may fall more if cattle slaughter increases this fall. Pork production in 1975 is down 14 percent in the first half and second-half supplies may drop 20 percent versus 1974, with total pork supplies the smallest in nine years and per capita supply possibly the lowest since 1938.
