Meat Prices Why?
Several factors combined to
bring about the recent in
crease in meat prices, accord
ing to the National Live Stock
and Meat Board. An extreme
ly bad winter in some live
stock-growing sections of the
country in ’7l plus fear that
the dreaded corn blight would
spread brought about a tem
porary reduction of livestock
on feed. This resulted in fewer
meat animals coming to mar
ket at a time when consumer
demand for meat was strong
due to the increased level of
income for most Americans
which has been occurring over
the past several years.
