Illinois Farmers Outlook Letter Hog Price Prospects For 1962
The Illinois Farmers' Outlook Letter forecasts a favorable 1962 for hog producers based on USDA December pig crop data from 184000 farmers. Hog production grows slowly, with 1961 fall pigs about 4 percent higher and 1962 spring pigs about 2 percent higher, while demand rises with population and employment. First quarter prices near year-ago levels. second quarter around 16.67 per cwt. third and fourth quarters show higher sow farrowings but profits likely, with corn around $1.20 a bushel and prices near 1961 levels in later quarters.

Oriented Corn Experiment Shows Potential for Yield Boosts
University of Illinois agronomist A L Lang notes orienting corn is experimental but promising. At Reynolds farm near Oneida this year, about 60 percent of kernels oriented at 18 500 per acre and over 55 percent at 21 500. conventional planting yielded about 38 percent oriented. Next year refinements with a machinery company aim to test four consecutive rows.

Illinois economist forecasts stable farm income in 1962
University of Illinois economists predict net farm income will hold steady in 1962 after an 8 percent rise in 1961. Government payments, including feed grain support, will remain about the same as 1961. Illinois swine producers may see a favorable corn hog ratio, with hog farmers likely to expand farrowings and market more hogs in 1962.
