Hog Reduction Plan Benefits Lighter Hogs By More Per Pound
The Indianola Tribune notes a hidden feature in the hog reduction plan. A 200 pound hog at four dollars per hundred yields eight dollars plus a five dollar bonus, totaling fifteen dollars. A 300 pound hog at three fifty per hundred yields ten dollars and fifty cents plus the five dollar bonus, totaling fifteen dollars and fifty cents. This shows the program may favor lighter hogs, reducing overall lard production as farmers prefer higher per hundred returns.
