Iowa Farm Outlook Presses Shift From Hogs To Dairies

The report notes hog production remains vital for eastern meat regions with 40 to 50 percent of income from hogs, while hog prices influence corn belt economics. Butter prices look weak, milk cow herds grew 3 percent, creamery output rose 2 percent, yet butterfat demand fell 1.5 percent.
