Pork production costs rise as feed dominates expenses
Iowa State University extension livestock specialist Emmett Stevermer says producing 100 pounds of pork costs 35 to 40 dollars, up 2 to 3 dollars from a year ago due to higher protein supplement and labor costs. Feed remains the largest expense, at about 23 to 27 dollars per 100 pounds, with corn and soybean meal price changes offsetting each other. Labor, depreciation, insurance, taxes, and other costs have increased, while improving reproductive rate and larger litters are suggested as ways to cut costs.
