Illinois Farmers Outlook Letter on Hog Market Trends
The Illinois Farmers Outlook Letter analyzes USDA September hog and pig data across 10 Corn Belt states, forecasting a peak in supplies this fall and price movement near 16 to 17 dollars then easing to under 14 by spring. It notes modest price support from beef competition, corn costs reducing producer entry, and sow farrowings trends through late 1963. It cites L H Simers and University of Illinois findings on soybean byproducts and drying soybeans.
