Hog price support schedule debate at Chicago meeting
Swine producers and farm organization representatives met in Chicago last week to urge maintaining the live hog price support and extending parity pricing to hog weights 180 to 270 pounds. Farm Bureau officials pressed ending pork subsidies and aligning dressed pork ceilings with hog supports, noting the law mandates keeping hog prices at or above the late 1942 peak. President Monson stressed the issue’s impact on Emmet county farmers amid proposed price changes.
