Central markets remain sound as hog buying shifts near hog production
Analysis argues that recent direct hog purchases from country sources reflect temporary tight supply rather than a breakdown of centralized marketing. With hog production down from 74.7 million in 1919 to 61 million in 1926, per capita pork use rose to 77 pounds in 1926 while total consumption neared 9 billion pounds, suggesting buyers move closer to sources during shortages but central markets retain value for recording receipts and lowering purchasing costs.
