Meat Production Seen Rising Slowly in 1949 Supply Mix
R J Eggert of the American Meat Institute told the Iowa Farm Bureau that 1949 meat production will not grow much despite a record feed crop. Most gains in meat supplies will come late 1949 and in 1950 with seasonal dips in summer and overall per person consumption possibly close to 1948. He cited continued strong demand tied to incomes and employment, but warned competition for the dollar could temper gains.
