Spring Pig Survey Highlights Stable Hog Production
The fall pig crop fell about 10 percent from the prior year while this spring’s projections anticipate similar output to spring 1925. Farmers should pasture young pigs early, keep them on clean lots to avoid stomach worms, rotate hog pastures, and provide movable small hog houses for shelter during wet and cold days. Lumber is available to construct any desired hog house, including sleds.
