I Both Ends f
( Producer and Consumer)
Against I
The Middle
( The Packer) |
The consumer wants to pay a low 1;
price for meat.
The farmer wants to get a high
price for cattle.
The packer stands between these
conflicting demands, and finds it im
possible to completely satisfy both.
The packer has no control over the
prices of live stock or meat, and the I
most that can be expected of him is 1
that he keep the difference between 4
the two as low as possible. He does |j|
this successfully by converting animals jj
into meat and distributing the meat
at a minimum of expense, and at a
profit too small to be noticeable in the lj
farmer’s returns for live stock or in the |!
meat bill of the consumer. I!
Swift & Company’s 1917 transac
tions in Cattle were as follows: -
- .. . if H
Sold Meat to Retailer for . . $68.97
Sold By-products for ... 24.09
Total Receipts ... . . 93.06
Paid to Cattle Raiser . . . 84.45
Balance (not paid to Cattle Raiser) 8.61
Paid for labor and expenses at
Packing House, Freight on Meat,
and Cost of operating Branch
distributing houses . . 7.32
Remaining in Packer’s hands as
Returns on investment ... $ 1.29
The net profit was $1.29 per head, or
about one-fourth of a cent per pound
of beef.
By what other method can the dif
ference between cattle prices and beef
prices be made smaller, and how can
the conflicting demands of producer
and consumer be better satisfied ?
