Ohio's role in the national food for defense program centers on boosting pork poultry and dairy production to meet home and allied needs. Rural economist Guy Miller notes goals for heavier hog weights and larger fall farrowings, with the 1941 pig crop forecast between 70 and 75 million head if breeding and fall farrowings rise 10 percent. Evidence shows heavier market weights recently, with government corn releases shaping production capacity. Egg and poultry output depends on egg feed prices and government corn access, while April feed ratios exceed long-term averages. Poultry output aims for a 15 percent boost over 1940 to reach 1939 levels. unused poultry housing is plentiful in the corn belt. Dairy output in 1940 was a record year, with April 1941 milk production about 5 percent higher than a year ago and more cows producing slightly more milk. Production is set to meet Sanita consumption and export needs, barring adverse weather, aided by grain feeding. The price gap for milk receipts hinges on fluid use versus cheese and condensed milk, plus industry demand and payrolls.
