Cheyenne County Sets Hog Output Record
Cheyenne county farmers sent 6,834 hogs to Sidney buyers in 1926, bringing nearly $200,000 cash. Hog shipments flowed from all parts of the county to local stock yards and markets, with much money circulating in Cheyenne business channels. Omaha and Denver markets remain strong, and west coast demand grows for hard corn fed hogs. Cheyenne farmers are urged to grow corn to feed hogs, earning $1.00 to $1.25 per bushel, while the staple trio remains wheat, corn and hogs.
