The article notes fat hog prices peak in July and August and likely stay near current levels for 30 to 45 days. It cites the June 1958 Pig Crop Report: U S spring pig crop up 2 percent, Corn Belt up 4 percent but below average, and Kansas up 10 percent yet below average. It forecasts fall and winter prices near or above last winter’s average, with a potential 20 percent or more larger fall pig crop and heavier spring marketings. It also advises cattle and hog producers to keep hogs cool with shades and sprays for maximum gains in hot weather.
