Meat Prices Jump at Wilsons Cedar Rapids Outlets
Cedar Rapids dealers raised beef and pork prices this week as wholesale costs climbed. Choice beef rose $7.50 per hundredweight to $40, while pork loins reached $40.50 per hundredweight. Higher live-animal costs and the end of livestock subsidies drive the increases, with packers passing costs to consumers. Prices may level off as heavy stock flow continues.
