Hog market outlook linked to fall pig crop and prices
Iowa State University extension economist Gene Futrell says 1972 hog market prospects hinge on the size of this fall's pig crop and next winter's farrowings. The June report shows farrowings 9 percent below last year, potentially lowering early 1972 slaughter and sowing a price recovery by December through February. Iowa 200–300 lb butcher prices may average near $20 in Jan–Mar, with April–June near $21, and spring crop size to shape second-half conditions.

Hog corn ratio hints at hog price trends in 1972
Futrell says the hog corn ratio held near 12.0 in early 1971, vs 21.6 in early 1970, suggesting only modest spring pig crop reductions if ratios stay similar. Stronger hog prices and lower corn costs could lift profits into winter and improve 1972 outlook, with price expectations around 19.50 and possible dip to 17 by November.
