Pig Birth Rates Break Records Boost Corn Feed Supply
The U S hog industry reports pig birth rates near historic highs and the largest corn feed on farms, with swine prices back to pre drought levels. Hogs average around $5.60 per hundredweight last week, down from $8.70 a year ago and $11.65 two years prior, while corn prices sit near six year lows. Approximately 52.3 million pigs were produced this spring, 9 million more than last year, with fattening up to 300 pounds and lard prices plummeting to drought-era lows. The corn belt shows rising feed supplies and lagging consumption aiding production, as the market threads through record animals and shifting prices. In Clinton, a local street-angle story describes salvaged wheel pricing between two rival businesses owned by A Push Mershon, highlighting local interest amid broader agricultural trends.
