Brannan to Ask Congress Advisory on Meat Production
Agriculture Secretary Brannan plans to present the meat supply challenge to House and Senate agriculture committees after the election recess. He argues government price supports may be needed to prevent skyrocket prices and potential rationing, though current methods are seen as ineffective. Economists project 1951 meat consumption at about 148 pounds per person without action, while demand could rise to 155 pounds. Brannan will outline the issue without issuing concrete recommendations, not tying it to his farm plan.
