TOMAHAWK - Ground beef prices don't look like they'll get cheaper soon. The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the price hit $4.24 per pound in the most recent data.
Brenda Boetel, associate dean and professor of agricultural economics at UW-River Falls says some beef lovers will pay the high price, which is why some of the demand hasn't dropped off as much. But some could reach a breaking point as we head into the summer.
Mike Isenberg runs the Poplar Smokehaus in Tomahawk. He's seen beef prices nearly double since 2010.
