Iowa State College economists cite a spring pig survey from the United States Department of Agriculture showing an 8 percent drop in spring pigs from 1989 and a 12 percent fall pig crop, signaling higher hog prices next year if demand holds.

Afton district budget notices and a July 29 meeting for district No. 5 are also mentioned.
