Retail adjustment during cattle industry stress: merchandising of younger, lightweight beef
Rhodes, V.J.; Davis, W.L., 1976: Retail adjustment during cattle industry stress: merchandising of younger, lightweight beef. Research Bulletin, Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station (1016): 18
This is a story of industry adjustments to a major disturbance in the beef sector, 1973-75. as such, it shows much about the forces in the market which coordinate the flow from producer to consumer of a basic farm product such as beef. the beef sector is coordinated by the market: prices and persuasion, rather than the orders of vertically integrated firms, connect the decisions of producers, feeders, packers, and retailers.Other references
