Why beef grade standards?

WEST LAFAYETTE — The new U.S. grade standards for beef became effective February 23 after months of litigation. They were to have gone into effect in April 1975. but the U.S. District Court of Appeals in Omaha. Neb., blocked them. Then the Eighth U.S. Court of Appeals overturned this ruling. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackman last January 9 cleared the way for implementation of the revised standards. Purdue university extension economists David Petritz and Michael Sands offer this background information: The USDA instituted grading standards in 1928 to establish a price reporting system for the industry. Grading standards were needed to have standardized terminology for the industry. That is, “choice” beef meant the same in Omaha as it did in New York city. Thus, the original purpose of grading standards was a form of communication Subsequently the agricultural marketing service (AMS), which oversees the voluntary program, revised the standards four times so that they more accurately described the quality of beef being produced and demanded by consumers. The standards w r ere also revised to insure a sufficient number of cattle in each grade to make that particular grade meaningful in the price reporting system. Changes included in this current revision were designed to make them more useful as a form of communication. For instance, very few cattle were included in the prime grade under the past standards. Now. some two per cent more cattle, previously graded choice, will be graded prime. In the previous standards, an increase in the amount of marbling was required to compensate for increased maturity of the animal. Recent research indicates no measurable differences in eating quality of beef from cattle about nine to 30 months of age Therefore, the

Taken to hospital for injuries in collision

Scott Wolfe, 17, r 1 Ligonier, was taken to Goshen hospital early Saturday morning for injuries sustained in a head-on onecar collision at 1:21 a m. about one-half mile east of 13-A and 1250 N south of Syracuse. County and state officers investigated the mishap as Wolfe’s 1974 model car reportedly left the roadway at a high rate of speed, flipped end over end several times and came to rest after running into a group of trees The car was damaged an estimated $2,000. The lone occupant was admitted to Goshen hospital in the intensive care ward for injuries including a bruised kidney, ruptured spleen, possible concussion and several rib fractures. Reports gasoline stolen from tank Donald W. Stiver of 15828 CR 146 Syracuse, reported to the Elkhart county sheriff’s department Monday of the theft of about 40 gallons of gasoline from a tank on his property. Bolt cutters were used to cut the lock from the pump to obtain the gas Loss was estimated at over S2O. Mine land makes park The first park ever created out of badly-scarred, stripmined land, dedicated in Sept. 1974, is Keyser Park, near Scranton, Pa. About $3 million in federal, state and country funds were spent on reclaiming the land for park land.

were revised so that the minimum amount of marbling in prime, choice and good grades of beef from cattle up to 30 months of age will be the same as that specified for the youngest beef in each grade. The revision was made to bring the standards up-to-date in terms of current knowledge and make the standards more accurate. Other revisions eliminated conformation as a factor in determining quality grades because research has shown that it does not affect eating quality. By eliminating conformation, each grade will contain a more uniform quality. New standards require that all beef which is Quality graded must also be yield graded. Quality grades, prime, choice and good, identify eating quality beef. Yield grades, N’o. 1 through 5, indicate the percentage of retail cuts in a carcass — that is its leanness. This additional information will allow for more accurate descriptions of beef. The U.S. Good grade has been redesigned so that it is more restrictive and more consistent. Being more uniform, this quality grade will be more accurate in describing the particular quality of beef. All the recent revisions in the grading standards were designed so the grading system can better meet its original purpose — that of being a form of communication between the consumer and the beef producer Through the use of the revised standards, consumers can more effectively indicate to producers whether they prefer more fat or more lean. The economists point out that grades in themselves do not set the price of beef. The supply and demand for a particular type of beef, described in terms of quality and yield grades, establish the price. Consumers help set the price by their buying decisions and producers response to these price signals. By improving the means of communication. the efficiency of the beef industry should be improved. conclude the economists.

He also received multiple bruises. abrasions and lacerations.
