Southeast Alabama hog market shifts as harvest ends
Southeastern Alabama farmers finish harvests and turn to selling hogs and poultry. Hog shipments across eight to ten counties near 125000 head could bring about 1.25 million dollars at 10 dollars per head, with past years averaging 12 to 15 dollars per hog despite smaller animals. Local sales associations, active since 1917, route most hogs to Moultrie Georgia packing plants. Thanksgiving turkey readiness and peanut fed pork drives add to farmer cash flow as dairy and poultry yields support winter needs.
