MEAT OUTLOOK
What is the supply outlook
for red meat and poultry for
the rest of this year?
Economists with the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
say supplies will drop below
levels of a year ago. They
say a decline in the pork and
broiler output will more than
offset larger beef produc
tion. According to the
economists, this pattern will
continue into the first half of
1981.
