Increase
small in
’77 food
prices
WASHINGTON D.C. -
Large food supplies will help
to slow increases in retail
food prices during the first
half of next year. That’s the
assessment of James Donald
in remarks prepared for the
Department of Agriculture’s
National Agricultural
Outlook Conference recently
in Washington. Donald, of
the Department’s Economic
Research Service, says
increasing consumer
demand and rising
marketing costs will keep
upward pressure on food
prices. But, retail food prices
in the first half of 1977 may
average only around three
per cent higher, similar to
1976’s rise.
Officials say prices for all
of 1977 should also average
three or four per cent above
1976, assuming expected
output of meats and
livestock products and
barring surprises in next
year’s crops.
These percentages are
minor in comparison with
the increases of 14 per cent in
1973 and 1974, and another
eight per cent in 1975. Dpnald
suggests that retail prices
will remain relatively steady
this winter.
Swine usually require 2 to
2.5 pounds of water per
pound of dry feed, but they
may consume as much as 4
to 4.5 pounds of water per
pound of feed at high tem
peratures. The higher the
temperature the more water
is consumed.
Horses usually need two to
three pounds of water per
pound of dry ration con
sumed.
