D C - "Consumers and farmers would both be better off if the meat trade would lower its present near-record margins for handling beef and pork,” says Don Paarlberg, the U S Department of Agriculture's director of agricultural economics. Beef and pork prices at the supermarket are down from last year, but not nearly as much as cattle and hog prices on the farm. Price spreads between farm and consumer have increased 16 per cent for beef and 31 per cent for pork smce July 1975. Since cattle prices started to decline in July 1975 far mers’ prices have dropped 26 per cent. However, con sumer prices for beef have declined only 14 per cent. .Telephone, prinrpjui will !*• rhown on Wnclnr.vlfl) evening at the I’mn Harris Motor Inn Milking Shorthorns will ,-ihow on Tuesday.

Harrisburg, PA 17120 or by calling 717-787- 2905 The spread between cattle pnccs and consumer beef prices has widened 9 cents a pound since July a year ago and is now at a near-record spread of 64 cents a pound Preliminary data indicate that spreads in August remained wide as cattle prices continued to drop At the same time, cat tlemen are operating at a loss. Department of Agriculture figures show that typical Com Belt cattle feeders have lost money continually since early 1972 except for the period May to December 1975. Presently Com Belt feedlot owners are losing more than $65 per head. Likewise, cow-calf herds are also losing money selling young feeders for feedlot finishing. Cattlemen have reacted by selling off cows, thereby increasing meat supplies which has depressed farm cattle prices even more. Present indications are that fanners who are feeding out cattle already in feedlots will continue to lose money until the end of the year. Price spreads between farmers and consumers are also wide for pork. In July farm-retail spreads in creased seven cents over June. Early estimates for August indicate that farm retail spreads for pork widened further. Consumer pork prices in July were only slightly lower than a year ago, but farm hog prices were down 15 per cent. The farm-retail price spread had widened 31 per cent. Department of Agriculture figures indicate that hog farmers have been making money. But the outlook for fall and into 1977 suggests a drop in hog prices with hog raisers losing money, par ticularly if the price spread between farmers and con sumers stays at near-record levels. How low hog prices slip will depend in part on the farm-retail price spread. Price spreads usually widen when farm prices are falling. The marketing spread is expected to continue relatively wide over the next several months, even though marketing costs per pound of pork probably will be lower. “Retailers could improve the situation for farmers and consumers by promoting beef and pork and reducing their prices more quickly in line with lower wholesale meat prices," says Dr. Paarlberg. 77
