Iowa Farm Outlook on High Hog-Corn Ratio
Iowa State economist Gene Futrell notes the late 1965 hog-corn ratio reached 24, higher than the 17 that once signaled rising hog production. Yet history may not predict 1966 farrowings due to labor limits, rising specialized operations, and shifting cost structures. Hog producers in 10 Corn Belt states plan a 5 percent rise in March-May 1966, with larger increases possible later as feed costs change dynamics.
