Meat supply short of demand in the United States
A U.S. department of agriculture bulletin says the meat supply is 18,000,000 animals short for feeding about 99,000,000 people. Cattle and sheep fell sharply since 1910 while hog numbers rose, boosting farm values but not farmers’ profits due to higher production costs. Causes include range encroachment, drought impacts, land and labor costs, and marketing issues. A.M.E. church fundraising for a worship space nears completion with pledges totaling about $900.
