Diverted Acres
For Cattle Hit
By Association
DENVER, Colo Cattlemen,
already faced with the problems
of marketing a lecord beef sup
ply, protested today institution
of any agricultural program
which would “encourage” addi
tional cattle pioduction on di
veuted acres
“Cattlemen aie meeting ex
treme difficulties in adjusting
supply to consumer demand,”
Jay Tajlor, pusident of the Am
erican National Cattlemen’s As
sociation, said m asking Agricul
ture Secretary Ezra Benson to
discourage the raising of addi
tional cattle tr any future crop
support programs
“It would be disastrous to
many cattlemen, operating on
land suitable only to grass, if
beef surpluses aie built up
through a Scd Bank plan which
would encourage additional live
stock pioduoLon,” Taylor de
clared
Not Warranted
“While the pi mciples of soil
conservation and pievention of
greater surpluses of basic crops
are certainly laudable, it would
be a mistake to cieate a fuither
surplus of livestock at a time
when extra beef production is
definitely noi wan anted,” he
said
Taylor obscvod, however, that
he had “eveiy confidence” that
the Secretaiy was aware of the
danger 'to the general livestock
and agncultinal economy and
“would do nothing to jeopardize
the eflorts of cattlemen to bal
ance supply with demand through
normal production and market
ing channels ”
He pointed out that the many
additional cattle produced and
grazed on land already diverted
in cuirent crop suppoit progiams.
had contributed .seriously to the
overburdened cattle market this
year
Could Cause Failures
“Additional beef production in
the next few years would cause
many i anchors and feeders to
fail, thus cui tailing future pro
duction too far for the nation’s
good,” Taylor said
“The consumer is getting the
benefit of greater supplies of nu
tritious beef at extremely rea
sonable prices,’’ he said “En
couiagement cf extra beef pio
duction now will threaten long
range output and may cost the
consumer far more in the long
run than any saving achieved in
crop control now.
“We can not solve one surplus
by creating another.”
Taylor' cit«>d beef promotion,
increased research and more ef
ficient production, management
and marketing as ways determin
ed cattlemen aie solving their
own problems without resorting
to artificial supports or controls
of beef
Beef Produuction Up 5%
Americans arc expected to con
sume itcoid amounts of beef
and veal this year, with per
capita consumption predicted at
more than 90 lbs for both meats
an increase of nearly one
third since 195 1.
“Beef production shows a five
per cent increase over last year
and a 96 per cent increase since
1935-1939,” Taylor said “This
means that a tremendous amount
of beef is being made available
to consumeis
“However, puces received for
live cattle by i anchors and feed
ers aie dangemisly low and re
flect our extremely high cattle
numbeis Moie cattle would
bring disaster to the precarious
balance between supply and de
mand we are slowly achieving,”
