Pork Month Celebrates Tenth Anniversary in Iowa
The October Pork Month marks 10 years since its Iowa origins and has spread to about twenty states. It stands as the largest single food-commodity promotion in agriculture, driven by organized pork producers with support from the packing industry, distributors, retailers, locker plants, and numerous pork-related businesses. Local Pork Producer groups host promotions, Iowa Porkettes collaborate with home economics teachers to boost pork recipes and cookery materials, and Farm Bureau women aid in in-store samplings and demonstrations to reach homemakers.

National Pork Month Promoted Across Iowa Stores
A statewide pork promotion highlights October with 1000 plus stores using posters to sell pork. Iowa newspapers and radio stations backed the effort last year with pork editions and on air promos. Despite a modest Pork Producers budget, extra ad funds from industry partners expand reach nationwide with a $250,000 national media program.

Pork profits risk in 1973 says Futrell
Iowa State University extension economist Futrell cautions the hog industry could face lower profits if farrowings rise beyond projections. The 1973 market may peak early, with prices likely easing in late 1973 and into 1974 as pig crop sizes and demand shift, despite a favorable outlook through mid 1973.
