Wolf Cry From Washington Runs Hog Market Cold
Liar not believed even when truthful. Aesop tale analogies apply to Washington's price cries for hogs. OPA ceilings curtail marketing as interior hog runs dip from Iowa to Minnesota.

Many new breeders enter as experienced growers stay steady, yet marketing remains uneven.
