Victoria Faces Strong Spring Pig Crop Outlook
The first half year pig crop report from Victoria’s Bureau of Agriculture notes farmers expect a larger autumn crop alongside a strong spring yield. It cites rising pig breeding since 1500, higher farrow rates in mid year, and a sharp rise in pig prices linked to wheat costs, with 256,000 plus pigs saved anticipated from an autumn crop of about 342,000.
