Hog and Corn Market Trends Highlight 1930 Farm Outlook
The November 1 hog holdings reached a 1917 high for that date but were 20.4 percent below October 1 and 27.5 percent under November 1, 1929. Lard totals were 61 percent below the five year November 1 average, while Chicago hog weights averaged 227 pounds in October, 15 pounds under 1929. Corn stocks and production yield the smallest farm supply since 1901, with 2,167 million bushels on November 1. Butter production rose 2.6 percent above the five year average, but movement to consumers fell 1.6 percent. Poultry storage is low at 59.3 million pounds, with October into-storage at 11.3 million pounds, reflecting weak demand and low prices. Prices for dairy and poultry prospects suggest a firmer late-winter rise but butter may not reach October levels.
