Food Men
This is the year of the consum
er, according to Trienah Meyers,
with the Economic Research
Service of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. She told more
than 300 food distributors that
she based her statement on leg
islation proposed and already
in force for consumer protection.
Meyers spoke at the 11th an
nual Delaware Conference on
Food Distribution held recently
at the University of Delaware.
Meyers emphasized the grow
ing awareness of the consum
er and pointed out that consum
er reactions affect the entire
food industry. The only direct
contact between most shoppers
and the industry is in the store.
“This is where they form their
opinions and. sometimes, where
they display their reactions.”
The reasons a homemaker
prefers a particular store often
don’t agree with the reasons a
retailer believes influence her,
according to Dr. Richard W.
Skinner, Kent State University,
Ohio. He spoke on consumer re
search at the conference.
Skinner said stamp programs
and the physical organization of
a store what is sold where—
are not as important to shop
pers as retailers believe. His re
search shows that homemakers
pick one store in preference to
another because they want a
Steers Eating
Habits Studied
Steers don’t dawdle much
over meals, even though they
have nothing to do but eat.
An electronic surveillance
system used in ARS tests show
ed that when steers were near
the feeder, they ate 94 to 97
percent of the time.
Knowledge about the time
animals actually spend eating is
basic to studies on eating habits
of cattle studies which help
determine feeder space needed
per animal or proper lighting of
feedlots.
The electronic system, install
ed by beef cattle nutritionist P.
A. Putnam did away with the
boring job of monitoring, cattle
behavior with a stopwatch Now,
when a steer comes to the feed
bunk, he breaks an electric light
beam, thereby activating a re
corder attached to a time clock
Rate of feed consumption did
not vary significantly during
the 24 hours of the day. Time
spent eating varied with the
type of feed, however. Steers
took half again as long to eat, a
ration of coarsely-ground hay
plus limited grain as one pellet
ed hay and liberal grain.
