Heavy hog market fires up in March marketings
Des Moines reports March hog receipts through Friday totaling 455 400 head in interior Iowa and southern Minnesota. Analysts expect March totals to be the largest in six years, near the 1931 and 1933 peaks, with about 100 000 head more than last year. Six factors drive the surge including higher production, farmer reluctance to sell in Jan Feb, fast gains in hogs, heavy weights, and makers needing space before field work begins. Prices dipped to lows not seen since January then steadied to around 60 cents under seasonal highs while remaining 50 cents above last five years' lows. interior trade receipts reached 120 600 head for five days, with public markets slightly higher at 197 160 head for four days.
