The forest industries have been forced to branch into new products as per-capita lumber consumption has dropped (down to 256 bd. ft. in 1955 from 504 in 1904) and timberland prices soared (up as much as 1,700% in 18 years).

One result was that consumers were tucking away more beef than ever. The U.S. will eat 82 lbs. per capita this year, a pound more than in 1955 and almost 50% more than just five years ago, when pork was king. Beef is not only the biggest single item on the U.S. food bill (17? out of every food $1) but it is also the largest single source...
