Ton Litter pork production boosts farmer income and shows two-ton pigs
The Sears Roebuck Agricultural Foundation profiled the Ton Litter system to raise more pork from fewer sows, aiming to cut costs and lift profits. Reports from Kansas City and Chicago shows highlighted a 16-pig litter weighing 4,799 pounds at six months, with plans to surpass 4,789 pounds as methods spread nationwide. The program traces to Indiana research by James R. Wiley, emphasizing prolific, fast-maturing sows, strict sanitation, and optimized feeding to achieve over a ton per litter in six months, and even two tons per litter in some cases.
