GET ME REWRITE: New World screwworm, not yet in United States, is already screwing us at the meat counter


Headline:  National Hog Farmer, 7/31/2025
The Texas A&M University Food Price Predictor: Summer 2025 Meat Prices report released earlier this summer by the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Department of Agricultural Economics projects modest price changes for most meat cuts from May to October. 
However, a looming threat from the New World screwworm is disrupting beef markets and driving prices higher than initially forecast. The Summer 2025 Meat Prices report, authored by a team of Texas A&M economists originally predicted modest declines in beef prices, thanks to stable feed and fuel costs, as well as more efficient cattle processing.
