Fall Pig Crop To Be Largest On U. S. Record
Reports to Uncle Sam indicate the 1955 fall pig crop will be the largest on record except for two WWII years. Nine Midwest states normally produce about two thirds of the nation’s pork and show rising farrowings in June-August and September-November with a expected 12 percent more sows farrowing this fall. The U. S. fall crop may exceed 41 million head, 12 percent above last year, while per capita pork supplies remain below 1952 levels despite overall gains in beef and veal.
