Iowa State University assistant farm economist Dale Roth predicts hog prices will stay about the same through winter and spring 1960. The forecast relies on ongoing supply changes and slower increases in fall farrowings, with the spring pig crop seen at about 52 million, an 11 percent drop from 1959, offset by more fall pigs that will lift slaughter in early 1960.
