Heinold Warns Against Livestock Price Rollback By Congress
Harold Heinold, president of Heinold Hog Markets, urged consumers and farmers to resist a proposed price ceiling tied to January 10, 1973 levels. He noted hog prices fell from over 40 to mid 30s and warned a rollback could deter expansion, risk shortages, and hurt pork and beef producers amid rising beef prices. He cited currency shifts and Japan’s pork orders as factors elevating prices and called for increased hog and cattle production to ease inflation.
