Meat supply strain prompts rationing and fair share rules
Packers report 30 percent set aside of meat produced may push 70 percent of loins and hams to government orders. High consumer income boosts demand for better cuts while dry salt cuts pile up for cheaper lines. Transportation limits and driver shortages aggravate delivery gaps, prompting advance ordering. A 23 percent spring and 34 percent fall pig crop drop signals smaller civilian meat supply ahead.

Meat Supply Outlook for War Period
The analysis notes a pork supply drop next year and a possible beef increase if cattle liquidation proceeds. Meat demand from the armed forces will stay high for an extended period, with lend lease and foreign relief demanding substantial supplies. Civilian meat availability will fall, but likely not to drought-year lows.
