Estimates prepared from U. S. Department of Agriculture data 5/20/65 STATE RED MEAT DEFICITS CAUSE FOR CONCERN Speaking to the Georgia Independent Meat Packers Association last week, John Duncan, Manager of the AgriBusiness Service of Southern Railway and former Assistant Secretary of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, presented some interesting figures concerning the red meat deficit in the nine southeastern states. Southern Railway has been of great assistance to the livestock industry in Georgia and the Southeast through a reduction in transportation rates on feed from the midwest. According to the charts below, only Mississippi and Kentucky are presently producing more beef than they need for local consumption. None of the nine states is producing enough pork to take care of local needs, and only Kentucky is expected to be producing enough pork by 1975 to cover the consumption in that state. Of special interest is what this means in dollars and cents to each state (see chart No. 1) and the population projection for each state and the increase needed in beef and pork production (see chart No. 4). (Editor's note: Beef and pork prices should remain high for some time considering the current supply and the projected population increase, representing a good profit level to the farmer.)
