Hog Lift boosts farm hog prices via NFO collection point
Norwalk farmer Melvin Ott loaded 26 hogs for market at a National Farmers Organization collection point in Tiffin. Noel Cowling, NFO vice president, explains the lift aims to raise prices by shifting hogs away from Sandusky packing houses with a 220 pound cutoff to NFO markets with a 230 pound cutoff. Prices rose briefly during Jan 26 to Feb 6, then fell. Ott says NFO bargaining power helps farmers seek fair parity, with Cowling targeting 27–28 cents per pound as a fair price.
