Dr. Herman Haag and Missouri Farmers Association staff project the 1955 pig crop at about 88 million head with 1956 similar to 1954 and 1952. Pork production may top 11 billion pounds this year, with per capita consumption around 65 pounds in 1956. Prices are expected to rise toward 1958, averaging about $20, as lean meat hogs gain favor over lard types.
