Beef Supply Dims Chance For Price Gains
Iowa State University economist Gene Futrell says larger beef supply and a wider farm to retail margin help depress beef prices. Slaughter remains high with July up 2.5 percent and August federally inspected totals about 3 percent above last year, pushing beef production up 10 percent from 1975. Futrell expects 1977 price gains to be modest and foresees limited upside unless slaughter falls further.

Congressman Bedell seeks to close meat import loopholes
Congressman Berkley Bedell asked readers to support his push to tighten the Meat Import Act of 1964 by counting preserved and prepared meat, like diced meat from Mayaguez Puerto Rico, against quotas. He notes USDA action in August after cattlemen raised the issue and urges full enforcement to protect Iowa cattle feeders.
