Wisner Sees Hog Prices Remain High Early 1970
Iowa State University extension economist Bob Wisner reports hog prices should stay elevated through the first half of 1970 with a possible drop below late 1968 levels by year end. Factors include reduced hog slaughter, strong pork demand, and improved pork quality. Prices in interior Iowa for 200-230 lb butchers run about 26.25 to 27.75, about 8 higher than 1968.

He notes about 46 million dollars was paid to Towa farmers in spring last year and says farmers fear the change most of all in the program.
