Crop Outlook Won't Help Consumers Meat Prices Rise
Ames Iowa AP Consumers will face high meat prices for another year despite USDA forecasts of record feed grain crops. Prices for butcher hogs reached 61.25 per hundred pounds in Iowa with bacon at 2.09 to 2.39 per pound. Pork production remains low while cattle slaughter rises mildly. Experts cite a nine to twelve month lag before grain supply gains affect meat prices and warn grain prices may stay high alongside a record corn crop.
