More Grain Pork Predicted for 1950
The Agriculture Department forecasts the 1950 farm year to yield about 150 pounds per consumer, up from 147 this year, with 1947 a record. Abundant corn and feed grains at favorable prices could lower prices, especially for pork. Pork production may rise 7 to 10 percent year over year, with the spring pig crop up at least some percent. Beef and veal output should be roughly equal to this year as beef demand remains strong and corn remains plentiful for cattle feeding.
