West Midwestern Grains and Hogs Debate in Sioux City
A speaker argues that industrial prosperity hides hardship and that the Midwest must help feed the West. He notes California slaughters about 2.25 million hogs annually and consumes over four million hogs in dressed pork products while only raising 0.8 million hogs.
