U. S. Beef Industry: Cattle Cycles, Price Spreads, and Packer Concentration
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of the U.S. beef industry, exploring the cyclical nature of cattle inventories, the dynamics of price spreads, and the impact of packer concentration. The author sheds light on the challenges faced by cattle producers during the 1990s, a period marked by low cattle prices, widening farm-to-retail price spreads, and concerns about the market power of beef packers. Through meticulous analysis, this book compares the cattle cycle of the 1990s with previous cycles, revealing both similarities and differences. It examines the influence of various factors, including weather, grain exports, government programs, and changes in beef industry structure, on cattle inventory fluctuations. The author provides insights into the historical evolution of packer concentration and its potential effects on cattle prices and price spreads. This book challenges the perception that the cattle cycle of the 1990s was exceptionally harsh on producers, highlighting that previous cycles, particularly the one in the 1970s, presented even greater challenges. It delves into the complexities of price spreads, explaining the reasons behind the widening gap between farm and retail prices and the declining farm value share of the retail beef dollar. The author concludes by offering a nuanced perspective on the impact of packer concentration, suggesting that its effects on cattle markets may not be as significant as often perceived.
