Hog price rebound after severe drop in the 1969 70 cycle
The USDA notes hog prices rise as the 1969 Wisconsin pig crop of 3,344,000 joins a national expansion that produced over 102 million hogs in 1970, the largest since 1943. Green County added 203,650 pigs. Prices fell sharply in late 1970 despite the broader expansion as corn costs and peak swine output pressured markets.
