Beef Price Troubles Blamed On OPS by J C Holbert
J C Holbert president of the Iowa Beef Producers Association spoke to the Washington county cattle group about the 1951 52 beef price decline. He linked price drops to OPS actions in 1951 52 the May 1 1952 feeder price rollback and higher retail meat prices. He argued rollbacks August and October spurred feeders to halt buying May to August and October, prompting Congress to kill the proposals. He noted cattle numbers rising to 93 million since World War II and a drought in the southwest, plus competition from pork chicken and turkey prices in driving beef demand down.
