Kutish Predicts Less Meat To Eat In 1948
Iowa State College economist Francis Kutish forecasts meat consumption falling about 10 pounds per person from a 1947 average near 155 pounds. Meat supplies will dip from late spring to early fall as farmers sell lighter weights to preserve grain. Fewer fed cattle are expected next year, with spring marketings down due to wheat pastures failing in the southwest. A balmy fall fooled some visitors, including a New Orleans traveler in Leon buying warm clothes, including a sweater and long wool underwear, with Leon recording 44 degrees.
