Iowa State College economist Francis A. Kutish reports the hog market may dip briefly after rapid price gains but remains bullish for spring. Slaughter declines seasonally after March, with pork products showing strength as lard and hams lead gains. Corn Belt farmers plan 8 percent fewer summer pigs, and spring farrowing is trimmed, easing packing facility pressure and supporting prices into late 1956.
