Hogs Prove Profitable In North Carolina Markets
North Carolina farmers at the State Farmers convention claim hog markets beat central west values. Edgecombe County producer W. W. Shook notes Richmond and Baltimore pay 6 to 7 cents more per pound than Chicago. Local farmers shipped 20 cartloads of hogs in 12 months at about 15 to 16c per pound, totaling roughly $9,000. Experts urge planned hog production using pasture and small grains rather than dry lots.
