Maryland Farm Front This Week on Pig Production Goals
Maryland farmers are urged to aim for a 30,000 sow fall farrow, about 10 percent above last year, as national goals target a 16 percent rise in fall pigs and state averages around 13 percent. Officials warn prices may rise with demand, though strikes at meatpackers could suppressproduction. Also covered are President Truman's long-range farm program goals and a May 31 farm plan filing deadline under Triple-A, with emphasis on simple conservation practices and county-specific plans.
