Farm Leader Blasts Hog Price Slump Despite Losses
CHICAGO AP A farm leader said hog price breaks are uncalled for and have reduced the value of spring pigs on farms by about 50 million dollars. Earl C. Smith of the Illinois Agricultural Association faulted officials and packers for the unprecedented drop, noting hogs slipped below 14 dollars per hundred pounds for the first time since July 30. He argued subsidies do not flow to consumers and warned of looming shortages if the market is not stabilized.
