The Agriculture Department reports this spring pig crop at 53 085 000 head, an 8 percent drop from last year. Pork supplies later this year will be smaller and hog prices likely stay higher than a year ago. The forecast boosted Republican hopes for farm votes in the Midwest. Last year hog prices fell about 40 percent.
The agriculture department labels overexpansion as a factor in hogs and projects the 1956 fall pig crop at 35 million head, eight percent below last year’s fall crop. Total 1956 pig production would total about 88.1 million head, down from 95.6 million last year, with 10 year average near 88.1 million. State figures show Kansas 865k versus 456k, Missouri 3.541m versus 3.456m, Nebraska 2.373m versus 3.300m, Oklahoma 428k versus 456k, Colorado 139k versus 147k.
