Meat price ceilings to be restored around September
Washington AP reports price ceilings on meats to be reestablished by the Price Control Board around September 3. Dairy products remain largely free of controls while subsidies on meat and livestock are revived to near June 30 levels. The move aims to straighten meat supplies bought during the no-control period and keep dairy prices out of ceilings.
