Meat price debate cited by farmer reformer
The farmer argues a four cent retail meat price rise hides a 20 cent per pound spread. He claims beef shortages are myths and that per capita meat and pork supplies will rise in 1972. He cites marketing margins rising since 1949 from 19 to about 37 cents for beef and pork, claiming the system has doubled its margins while both farmers and consumers lose.
