Hjort says beef prices are above criticism
WASHINGTON, D.C, -
Howard Hjort, director of
economics, policy analysis
and budget for the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
has come to the defense of
cattle ’ producers as beef
prices to consumers begin to
rise. Speaking in Montana,
Hjort said, “Livestock
producers and other farmers
should not be criticized for
the higher prices that
they’re now receiving.
“People quickly forget
that for the past three years
meat at the grocery story
has been a bargain at the
expense of the U.S. livestock
producer,” he said. “The

cow/calf operator and the
commercial feeder in the
Great Plains both have lost
from $5.00 to $lO.OO per
hundredweight since 1975,”
Hjort declared, pointing out
that farmers have been
forced to cut their inventory
because prices have been
below the cost of production.
“The prices that farmers
are now getting are essential
to cover rising feed costs, the
losses incurred in the last
three years and herd
replacement,” Hjort said.
“Prices will likely have to
continue to rise to reverse
the liquidation cycle. ’ ’

Although food costs will
average six to eight per cent
higher in 1978, Hjort said 10
per cent of that increase will
be the result of imported
foods - sugar and coffee -
and fish. About half of the
increase will be the result of
increased farm value of food
and about 40 per cent will be
caused by increased

“I think-everyone should
recognize that increased
prices to livestock producers
make only a small con
tribution to rising retail food
costs. The food industry is
highly complex, and within
that industry, livestock
producers have been the real
losers for the past three
years,” Hjort concluded.
