Meat Raisers Seek Gusto At The Table

Meat demand spurs calls for grain and soy expansion
Officials say to meet an American average of 195 pounds of meat per person, farmers would need 20 to 25 percent more grain and soy acreage. A five billion bushel corn crop would be nearly a fourth larger than any before. The department aims to shift production and processing while improving meat flavor and stabilizing it in processed and frozen meats.
