Fever Hog Trends in Spring 1925 Across Corn Belt
A preliminary tabulation of the June 1925 hog survey by the Agriculture Department and Rural Carriers shows sows farrowing in 11 corn belt states down about 20 percent from spring 1924. Pigs saved are only about 11 percent lower due to larger litters, while average pigs saved per litter rose 11 percent thanks to favorable March–April weather and higher hog values.
