Farm outlook hints at larger 1973 hog supplies
ISU extension economist Futrell notes September USDA pig crop study signals a turn in hog production. Farrowing plans rise, quarter by quarter, with March–May crops down from 1971 but June–August up. Prices near $25.50 per cwt in Oct–Nov and $24.50 in Dec. profits remain favorable through early 1973 but may weaken in late 1973 and into 1974 if farrowings expand.
