Hog price surge defies usual market trends says ISU expert
Iowa State University extension economist Gene Futrell notes hog prices in early August were about 50 percent higher than a year earlier, with U.S. No. 1-3 200-240 pound butchers averaging $24 in interior Iowa Minnesota. He says the rise exceeds norms and that fall hog prices may remain about 25 percent above 1964 levels unless demand sustains the surge.
