D26-Lancasler Fanning Saturday, December 10,1988 Carcass Merit Task Force pnc of the primary goals of the newly formed NPPC Carcass Mer it Task Force is to help ensure fair and equitable payment to produc ers for pounds of lean, high-quality pork muscle, according to Ray Hankes, National Pork Producers Council president and task force chairman. Composed of 15 pork producers and industry representatives, the task force was created at the direc tion of producer delegates at NPPC’s annual meeting held in Nashville, Tenn., last March. During its first meeting in late July, task force members dis cussed plans to develop a Carcass Merit Buying Guide so that a lar ger number of producers would be paid on the basis of the quality of lean meat. According to a recently com pleted study, between 28 and 38 percent of the nation’s hogs arc currently being purchased under a carcass merit system. While this represents a doubling since 1984, producers and other industry rep resentatives feel that there is still much progress to be made m this area. Research currently being con ducted by Purdue University, assisted by NPPC funding, is eva luating several different pork grad ing systems and methods. Researchers are going beyond car cass grading at the packer/ processor level and looking at developing quick and accurate methods of carcass worth based on the value of retail pork cuts.
