First Quarter Hog Prices May Show Improvement
Hog prices may edge higher in the January to March quarter with U.S. Nos. 1 to 3 hogs of 200 to 220 pounds expected to fetch 128 to 19 per hundredweight in the Iowa market this winter. Prices likely dip late winter, then recover to 320 to 22 per cwt by early summer amid large corn supplies and shifting farrowing plans. The December pig crop report shows revisions boosting 1966 and 1967 crops, helping explain higher 1967 marketings and lower prices. A Rock Island Extension panel will discuss farm leases and estate planning in Moline at 7:30 p.m.
