Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking volume presents a comprehensive view of the many concerns of those involved with livestock and meat marketing. During the 1980s, livestock production faced some critical changes. Product and feed prices became less stable, cycles lost their century-old patterns, both competition and trade barriers seemed to rise, and market outlets shrank in number and ownership diversity. At the same time, the United States demography became increasingly older, while new and confusing health concerns about red meat arose rapidly. This practical book introduces the reader to a range of issues of the livestock marketing system and looks ahead to such future issues as biotechnology, human health, and food safety. Considerable interest is given to international trade, an increasingly important sector in the market. Marketing Livestock and Meat is a concise and convenient compendium of diverse information. It provides functionaries in the system with an overall concept of how the market functions as a whole to promote better skills and strategies for marketing of red meats. The author describes specific applications vital to successful operation of the complex and far-reaching marketing system of meat and livestock, including international trade, grades and grading, health matters, demand for meat, price reporting and electronic markets, costs and benefits, and their combination into marketing strategies for producers. To supplement the research, theories, and strategies presented in this important book, there are many charts, graphs, and photographs. All persons connected to the marketing of meat and livestock--undergraduate students in North America, foreign students interested in exporting meat to the U. S., and most segments of the livestock sector, including supply and processing firms and retailers--will benefit from this important book.

Book excerpt: Air Emissions from Animal Feeding Operations: Current Knowledge, Future Needs discusses the need for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement a new method for estimating the amount of ammonia, nitrous oxide, methane, and other pollutants emitted from livestock and poultry farms, and for determining how these emissions are dispersed in the atmosphere. The committee calls for the EPA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to establish a joint council to coordinate and oversee short - and long-term research to estimate emissions from animal feeding operations accurately and to develop mitigation strategies. Their recommendation was for the joint council to focus its efforts first on those pollutants that pose the greatest risk to the environment and public health.

Book excerpt: Changes in the structure and business methods of livestock and meat production and marketing -- sometimes referred to as consolidation, concentration and/or vertical integration -- have long generated interest and controversy in Congress. Although USDA still considers beef cattle production (farm level) to be among the least concentrated agricultural sectors, just four firms slaughtered 71% of all U.S. cattle in 2005. In 1985, the then-top four packers accounted for 39% of all cattle slaughter, according to industry and USDA statistics. Four firms slaughtered 63% of all U.S. hogs in 2005, compared with 32% in 1985. Live hog production itself has seen sweeping changes over the past 25 years. The number of U.S. farms with hogs declined from 667,000 in 1980 to 67,000 in 2005; those remaining have become much larger and less diversified. Operations with at least 10,000 hogs now represent less than 1% of all producers but more than half of total U.S. production, USDA reports. Many hogs today are sold through production contracts, where a pork processor might provide the pigs and other inputs, and a contracting producer (farmer) provides facilities and labor. Debate has revolved around the impacts of such changes on farm prices, consumers, global competitiveness, and the traditional U.S. system of independent farms and ranches. Inherent in these questions is the role government should play in monitoring and regulating agricultural markets. Some groups believe that federal officials have not enforced existing laws designed to prevent anti-competitive behavior, and/or that the laws themselves should be strengthened to better address today's market realities. Others assert that present competition and antitrust policies remain adequate and effective. They believe that the sector's structural changes are a desirable outgrowth of other factors such as technological and managerial improvements, changing consumer demand, and more international competition. Some of the proposals offered in past Congresses to address one or more of the perceived "competition" problems in livestock markets are re-emerging in the 110th Congress. S. 305, for example, would prohibit packers from owning or controlling cattle except for just before slaughter; S. 221 would prevent the imposition of mandatory arbitration clauses on producers in their contracts with processors. A wider-ranging measure (S. 622) includes provisions creating a new USDA special counsel for competition to investigate and prosecute violations of the Packers and Stockyards Act (PSA) and Agricultural Fair Practices Act (AFPA); and makes several other significant changes to the AFPA affecting contracts between producers and buyers of their products. These or other forthcoming bills could be considered for a proposed competition title in a new farm bill to be written in 2007 to replace (or extend) provisions of the last omnibus bill, the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (P.L. 107171). This report will be updated if significant developments ensue.
