Soil conservation and hog production trends in Illinois
The Clark County soil and water conservation district hosts an annual meeting at Tom's Cafe in Marshall with Robert Walker as speaker on soil and water conservation. A discussion of meadow rotations shows erosion reduction benefits and the value of sod crops over first year row crops. Illinois hog production has doubled in forty years, with 1964 receipts around $440 million and hogs supplying a significant share of cash receipts. Seasonal price patterns favor strategic timing of hog sales and potential use of pasture to cut feed needs.
