FARM NEWS ends with glut in hog and milk markets
The 1952 closing period saw coast to coast hog farmers rushing to market before a January 1 price floor and a glut in whole milk demand. Halton shippers were told to hold back two to five days, while Toronto dairies warned small suppliers to halt shipments after January 1. The U S embargo worsened the surplus, marking a rare mid-century split in Canada’s export access.
