Farm Outlook: Hog Prices Likely Steady This Winter
Assistant Farm Economist Dale Roth of Iowa State University says hog prices should stay near current levels into winter and next spring. The forecast hinges on ongoing supply changes with fall farrowings up earlier but less than planned in most Corn Belt states, forecasting about 52 million spring pigs, an 11 percent drop from the prior spring. Still, more fall pigs than last year will keep slaughter higher in early 1960 than in early 1959.
