Young Curtiss farmer loses hog operation to unpaid debt

The 22 year old Terry Weideman of Curtiss faced forced sale of 150 sows and 120 to 150 feeder pigs after the Thorp Production Credit Association refused further financing. Over six figures owed, low pork prices reduce proceeds to about 12 thousand. PCA's Bruce Wickman defended the action as preventing deeper debt. Weideman began hog raising in 1975 and fears future credit access.

Hog farmer Weideman faces cash crunch amid low hog prices

Weideman, a Clark County hog farmer, reports losses of 13 to 14 dollars per pig and 20 dollars per butcher hog as market prices dip. He has $24,000 left on a $34,000 Massey Ferguson tractor and limited credit options amid 36 percent parity, with widespread farm declines noted by local observers and USDA figures.
