Hog Farm In Mud Reforms Load With Hog Escape
A farmer near Pilot Knob released hogs from a wagon to lighten the load after his team got stuck in muddy roads. The hogs returned home while he followed later. The next day he again hauled the hogs with a four horse team and completed the trip. Farmers report the roads are the worst in years with deep mire and clay sticking to wheels. Driving conditions will stay rough for weeks unless the ground dries.
