hog numbers rise in USDA forecast for 1976 77 hog crop
USDA projections show December May farrowings up 14 percent from last year with a 16 percent rise in the March May pig crop to 41.4 million head. Total hogs on U.S. farms June 1 reached 52.6 million, up 9 percent, while breeding stock rose ~11 percent. Farrowing intentions for this fall are up about 17 percent nationally, with Iowa expected to increase farrowings 18 percent June-August and about 30 percent September-November. Despite larger supplies, demand and prices are forecast to remain volatile, with potential declines into the 30s for early 1977 and a strengthening economy tempering gains. Four Iowa 4-H members will win purebred beef heifers at the Iowa State Fair, per 4-H aides.
