Produced by Sterling Marketing, Inc. and AMI, Meat & Poultry Facts is a compendium of livestock and meat industry information presented in 66 different charts, many featuring historical trend data.  From domestic consumption and prices to international imports and exports, the book presents a sound foundation for analyzing and understanding key trends in the $325 billion meat and poultry industry.

In the forward to the publication, Sterling Marketing’s John Nalivka wrote, “Coming out of the 2012 drought, the old saying in the grain business that a ‘short crop has a long tail’ is certainly appropriate.”  He noted that corn prices peaked at near $9 per bushel in late August 2012 and one year later in August 2013 toward $4 per bushel as the 2013 crop reached a record, and predicted that this year’s grain and feed prices are setting the tone for the next two to three years, a sharp departure from 2012.”
