Increased lard use to lift hog prices in Indiana
At a meeting in Indianapolis representatives from breeders associations stockyards companies commission agents packers and the Indiana Farm Bureau outlined an extensive educational campaign to promote lard. President Hassil E Schenck said hog prices are low and that reduced lard demand lowers live weight prices. The campaign aims to boost lard demand and farm income, noting a $.05 per hundred fluctuation could affect thousands of dollars in the state’s agricultural economy.
