Feed Grain Plan Cuts Hog Production in the South
The 1963 agriculture department report shows the federal feed grain control program reducing hog production in the South. Falls in the South Atlantic and South Central regions contrast with Midwest gains, as reduced feed supplies push farmers to cut back. Projections indicate further declines in fall crops and ongoing shifts in regional livestock output.

Weather study warns rainfall timing drives corn yields
The Cedar Rapids area saw only 0.15 inch of rain in June leaving soil moisture depleted. Dr. L. M. Thompson of Iowa State University notes July rainfall is crucial for corn yields with silking and grain filling stages demanding moisture. Six inches of July rain is optimal in Ohio and Indiana, more in western Corn Belt. Hog prices brighten farmers’ market view amid slim packer margins and steady pork storage.
