Spring Pig Crop Drops as Pigs Shortage Bites
The Commonwealth saw 315000 pigs produced this spring, 7 percent below 1964, the smallest spring pig crop since 1933 and 27 percent under the 1959-63 average. Pigs saved per litter reached a spring record of 7 5, with 38000 sows and gilts expected to farrow this fall, down 7 percent from last year. Hog prices rose to a seven year high in mid June, lifting cash receipts for Keystone State farmers for the third straight month.
