Later Marketings Of Spring Pigs Seen This Year
Midwest farmers with a short fall corn crop delay spring pig marketing by 30 to 45 days. The run may not start in earnest until mid September or later. A small portion already arrives at Wilson and Company Cedar Rapids plant as hog buyers report limited volume. The 1952 spring pig crop is estimated nine percent smaller than 1951, with heavy hog slaughter in the Corn Belt through March.
