State and federal corn hog officials met at Iowa State College to plan a new contract set to be available soon. Randall Hoffmann reports from the Extension Service after discussions with the corn hog committee and Agricultural Adjustment Administration representatives. The plan foresees county and township meetings, then public forums, with an Iowa Corn Hog Board consolidating the state committee and board of review. The contract aims to balance corn and hog production with market outlets, reduce price swings, conserve soil, and offer farmers fair returns and flexible adjustments while stabilizing hog supplies and pork prices for consumers. The program emphasizes improved bases, better farm management, and eventual increases in hog production to avoid previous glut and shortage cycles.
