Long outlook on cattle hogs from U S agriculture leaflet
A Missouri College of Agriculture note cites a sharp drop in the breeding herd amid higher slaughter. Cattle calf crops may shrink in 1956 with a slow price recovery, while hogs likely level or fall after two years of rise. Corn club yields are questioned against scales, with cases showing minor differences. Lespedeza seed and legume crops feature, plus dairy herd expansion and disease controls.
