D32—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, October 3,1981
UNIVERSITY PARK - The
long term decline in percent ot
disposable consumer income spent
for meat is continuing according to
Penn State economist H. Louis
Moore. In 1980, consumers spent
2.3 percent of their income for beet
compared to 2.7 percent 20 years
earlier.
During the same 20 year period
the proportion of consumer income
spent for pork dropped from 1.7
percent to 1.2 percent. While this
trend probably reflects growing
affluence of U.S. consumers rather
than a turn away from meat it has
continued into 1981. Consumers
have been expressing only a weak
desire to buy meat this year,
Moore contends.
Like the beet industry, the hog
industry has operated at a loss in
1981. This happened because price
gains were offset by high feed
prices in the first half. Price im
provement resulted from a cut
back in production. Pork
production dropped one percent in
the first quarter in 1981,10 percent
in the second quarter and is ex
pected to be down seven percent
during the current quarter.
But there is still a large supply ot
meat on the market as beet
production rose a surprising four
percent in the second quarter.
Broiler production was up six
percent during the Apnl-June
quarter.
Even smaller supplies ot pork
seem to be on the horizon. The
June 1 Crop Report indicated the
Drivers watch for deer
HARRISBURG -
Pennsylvania motorists
are reminded by the
Game Commission that
more deer are killed on
the state’s highways
during the hunting
seasons than at any
other time of the year.
During the fall,
whitetails are par
ticulai 'y active. Hun
ters’ r ovements during
small and big game
seasons disturb
naturally-spooky whit
etails, leading deer to
head for other hiding
places, often crossing
highways to reach their
destination.
Deer may suddenly
bound onto the road in
front of vehicles, and
drivers should be
constantly alert. The
danger can be as great
in the daytime as it is at
night.
While the problem is
generally more
prevalent in "deer
country,” motorists
should know that
vehicles kill deer in
every county, including
Philadelphia.
Deer, like most
wildlife species, are
creatures of habit. They
often follow the same
trails and cross high
ways at the same
locations. PennDOT has
placed thousands of
warning signs along
roads where whitetails
frequently cross. If
heeded, these signs can
prevent many un
fortunate accidents.
However, whitetails
Pork future remains clouded
total inventory was down eight
percent. The breeding inventory is
down 12 percent from a year
earlier. There should be a
tightening of pork supplies as the
year progresses. Pennsylvania
producers cut back even more than
the national average during the
March-May period.
The number of sows farrowing in
Pennsylvania dropped 16 percent
during the period compared to a
national drop ot 10 percent. The
breeding herd Reduction was
greater in all states outside the
Corn-Belt. This can probably be
traced to higher feed costs and
therefore higher losses in the
states outside the Corn-Belt. It
corn costs average 44 cents per
bushel higher outside the Corn-
Belt, this would add about $2.80 per
cwt. to production costs in a farrow
to finish operation.
Hog prices at Pennsylvania
markets are expected to stay
above $5O per cwt. tor the rest ot
the year. How much higher will
depend on the state of the economy
tor the rest of the year. If the tax
cut aids in improving the economy,
hog prices could improve beyond
current levels.
In any event, 1982 should bring
further cuts in hog production
particularly since there have been
no profits in the business to date in
1981. If the corn crop continues to
improve there may not be as much
upward pressure on feed prices as
a year ago. Soft red winter wheat
will probably be substituted for
