Charles McInnis president of the Ontario Hog Producers Association told the Grey County Hog Producers Association in Markdale that farmers are now delivering hogs to the highest bidder and not dumping at processors doors. He urged trained marketing agency staff and noted pay gaps with packers, stating drivers may earn up to $7,500 per market day off the books, while managers receive about half a cent per hog and farmers gain about six dollars per market day above 23 cents per pound.
