Farm Bureau Seeks Expanded Lard Exports to Aid Diet
The Iowa Farm Bureau Federation asks Congress to boost lard exports under ERP citing prices as low as 13 cents a pound and Europeans needing animal fats. They note January-March export allocations at 725 million pounds versus 96 million prior year, and rising cold storage to 112 million pounds. The move aims to aid producers and consumers, encourage livestock production, and support diet improvements while maintaining price supports to curb surpluses.
