January Beef Prices Set Records in Korean War Era
The Agriculture Department said January beef prices topped a two year high, averaging 34 per hundredweight, with total beef prices around 1.08 per pound for December before the drop. Antibiotics in livestock feed face FDA curbs, potentially lifting production costs. Cattle supply remains ample but demand drives high prices, with imports likely to expand to ease costs.

Mayne Sees Higher Set Aside Pay From USDA
Washington Rep Wiley Mayne told UPI he is reasonably confident Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz will announce a 13 to 18 cent increase to the voluntary land set aside payment under the USDA feed grain program. He urged Butz not to settle for less than 70 cents and said the voluntary area should rise from 10 to 15 percent of base acres. He noted USDA already set 80 cents for mandatory set aside and 52 cents for voluntary, but added the program remains inadequate to retire needed acres. Mayne said Butz agrees the 52 cent voluntary payment is unrealistic and will not work.
