July 1940 Sow Farrowings Lower Than 1948 Levels
The Iowa Crop and Livestock Reporting Service estimates July and August sow farrowings at about 208 000 head, 4 percent below 1948 for the same months. Sixteen months show a rising pattern with a three month June to August total near 430 000, an 11 percent rise over 1948 and a record for the period. If fall farrowings rise as expected by farmers, September to November could see another 9 to 10 percent increase, shaping a pattern close to last year’s. Monthly estimates are funded by a grant from the U S Department of Agriculture to the Iowa State Department of Agriculture under the 1946 act.
