Illinois pig crop 1934 report shows sharp drop
The December 1934 Illinois pig crop report notes a 52 percent drop from 1933 for the period June 1 to December 1, totaling 1,476,000 head saved. Fall farrowing and sow numbers declined, with national and Corn Belt trends highlighting the largest one year decreases on record. Projections for 1935 suggest further reductions in farrowings amid feed shortages and low hog prices.
