Meat packing profits questioned by federal testimony
A federal subcommittee hearing on meat packing profits shows margins are narrow with 75 to 80 cents of every sales dollar paid for livestock and materials. Profits before tax average two cents per dollar, after taxes one to fourteen cents in good years and zero or less in bad years. The industry rarely attracts capital for plant improvements, and a major packer reported a net loss of about 2.6 million dollars in the year ending October 30. Pack prices are influenced by more factors than profits, according to the testimony.
