Purdue economists predict higher hog prices in 1957
Purdue agricultural economists forecast 1957 hog prices to average higher than 1956 due to restrained marketings and strong consumer demand. They project hog marketings to be 10 to 15 percent below year earlier in early 1957, with reduced farrowings past spring and possible continued liquidation. Indiana marketings may stay at or above 1956 levels.
