Fall Farrows Show Increase in 1928 Iowa Pig Crop
Leslie M. Carl reports a 12 percent rise in the fall pig crop in Iowa for 1928 compared with 1927, with sow farrowings up over 7 percent. Illinois and Kansas show smaller gains, while the five eastern corn belt states save more pigs per litter. The fall crop is about 28.5 percent of the spring 1928 crop in Iowa, and producers expect about five percent more sows to farrow next spring, though actual farrowings usually decline.
