Fall Hog Prices Seen Higher Than Year Earlier
Farm economist Gene Futrell of Iowa State predicts fall and early winter hog prices could average $18.60 to $19.00 per hundredweight, with supply conditions suggesting 1969 first-half prices near $18.00 to $18.50 in major markets. He notes USDA estimates may understate fall farrowings and expects price relations with corn to keep pork supplies tight and prices near recent levels, with an eight-market average potentially in the $16 to $17 range next year.
