How is Beef Cutout Price Calculated?

By Dr. Andrew Griffith

I was asked this week how the beef cutout price was calculated?

The boxed beef cutout value is a value USDA calculates to represent the gross value of a beef carcass based on prices paid for individual beef items derived from the carcass. Thus, USDA estimates what percentage of the carcass eat cut comprises and then uses actual prices paid for those cuts to make a weighted average price which is the boxed beef cutout price.

Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
