Chicago. (UP) — Technology has converted the United States into a nation of pork-eaters, according to livestock men.
Notwithstanding the recent scarcity of bacon, pork chops and hams, the nation last year for the 10th straight year ate more pork than beef, the experts said.
The average American consumer last year ate 60.2 pounds of pork, 8.7 pounds of beef, 11.6 pounds of real and 7.2 pounds of lamb, the national livestock and meat board reported.
It's a matter of consumer pre-ference. The consumer always eats whatever meat the livestock raises out on his table. And there's never any left over.
The porker's popularity, said H. I. Conway, national livestock marketing association analyst, can be traced to the mechanization of the midwest corn belt farms. Development of high yield hybrid corn seed and use of the tractor and other arm machinery boosted corn production far beyond the nation's needs, he said. The farmer converted his surplus into hogs.
The cattle ranges of the west gave the nation a romantic lore of cow-unchurers, cattle rustling and blazing six-shooters, but the corn belt arms today are putting most of the meat on the table.
Meat board statisticians computed recently that 12 western "cattle" states in one year produced less than right per cent of the nation's pork and only one-fourth of its beef. Production in 13 corn belt states accounted for three-fourths of all pork and almost three-fifths of all beef. Conway said, however, that statisticians weren't giving the west due. A large percentage of midwestern beef," he said, actually raised on western grazing lands and brought to the midwest to fatten a corn.
Despite the 1947 bumper corn crop, serious porker shortage will develop in butcher shops next spring, conway said.
Much of the nation's hog population was liquidated by the "tight sed situation" before the harvest last year, he pointed out. Grain exports for world needs were higher than normal, and under government controls-designed to pry grain from the farms—the corn-hog price ratio made it more profitable to sell corn's grain.
This ratio was abruptly reversed with the removal of meat controls, the corn belt farmer today is holding back sows and gilts from the market in order to build up his deleted swine herds. The gestation period takes about five months. Seven or eight months after farrowing, pig can go to market.
