Feed Supply Per Animal Unit Drops Eight Percent From Last Year
The 1939-40 feed grain supply per animal unit is about 8 percent below last year, while total supply remains similar due to more animals on farms. Hay per unit drops about 6 percent, oats down 3 percent, barley up 9 percent, and hog production is expected 18 percent higher than 1938-39. Prices for hogs and cattle ease, soybeans look to set a new record acreage, and corn exports likely total around 35 million bushels for the year.

Pork Loin Market Advances Amid Seasonal Demand
The pork market shows continued gains as medium and lightweight loins rise after last week’s $3.50 to $4 move. 8 to 10 pound loins in Chicago reach $21.50, while live hogs also climb. Observers note seasonal lull in hog receipts supports price strength and predict a possible brief steady to higher trend before spring crop hogs hit the market. D L Swanson cites smaller feed units per animal and rising pork consumption, with heavier saws up $1.25 to signal stronger lard demand.
