Farm Economist Francis Kutish of Iowa State University notes more farmers join the 1963 feed grain program than 1962, with fewer diverted acres yet higher cost per diverted acre. Preliminary 25.8 million base acres diverted, vs 28.6 million in 1962, plus shifts in regional participation and rising total government outlay. Soybeans hinge on yields, with last year averaging 24.2 bushels per acre and small increases may boost stocks or exports. Hog market shows late-winter strength, with May demand improving as pig crop forecasts signal larger summer hog supply and faster market improvements.
The market will be weaker than last summer but pork stocks and beef totals are larger this year, likely keeping prices somewhat lower. Daily price reports should improve for hog producers over the next three months, yet not all price troubles are over. If sows farrow 4 percent more in late spring, hog prices this fall may be lower than last year, requiring a slight cutback in the 1963 summer fall pig crop to restore profitability next winter.
