Government Delays Beef Inclusion in Price Support Plan
Department officials say no immediate steps to include beef in current price support. The 1942 production goal for beef is 28 million head, up from 25.4 million in 1941 and 24.85 million from 1936-40. Beef producers lack assured profits, must buy replacement stock, and fear favorable treatment of others in the plan.
