Hog price outlook eyed amid bigger spring hog crop
Iowa State University economist Gene Futrell supports continued strong hog profits this summer with possible gains into fall. USDA data show a 14 percent rise in farrowing for December to May and a 17 percent jump projected for this fall nationwide. Prices may hover in the high 40s to low 50s this summer, then slip to the 41 43 range in Q4 and potentially into the upper 30s in early 1977 if farrowing rises hold.
