A string of Sunday and Thursday calls across Moravia area households includes Mr. and Mrs. Lige McDanel at Gaylord McDanel, Harold Davis and family with O. G. Davis home visits, and multiple gatherings at the E. F. Wilson home and United Brethren church. Thanksgiving meals feature at George Jones and U B church in Moravia, with local residents and families noted among Albia callers and box supper attendees. The town corn hog ratio on Nov 16 stood near 12, marking a four point drop from four months prior and fueling a price and market shift for farmers amid hog market tensions.
Corn Loans Lower Hog Prices Square
The rising corn prices driven by 46 cent loans and the gold-buying program have shifted hog markets in Iowa. As of October 15 the corn hog ratio stood at 17.1, meaning 100 pounds of live hog could buy 17.1 bushels of corn. When the ratio stays above 14, farmers feed more corn to hogs and fatten them, while a ratio below 14 reduces corn feeding and hog numbers.
