Hog producers blamed as hog market slumps in October
Willis Den Boer of Rock Valley notes hog prices halved from a year ago with most last week in the 33 to 34 dollar range. He cites overproduction as the core issue, as new confinement systems expand and former opponents return to farming. The farmer, 26, runs 120 acres with 100 more leased, farrows 70 pigs this year, and sells mainly to Morrells in Sioux Falls. Den Boer, member of the Sioux County Pork Producers Association, supports October Pork Month efforts backed by national meat groups to boost demand.
