Holmes Tackles Grain-Hog Ratio
Chicago January five. Economist Dr C L Hilmes of Iowa State College discusses how to balance corn and hog production amid fluctuating corn yields. He cites a cycle where heavy corn crops cheapen feed, boost hog numbers, depress pork prices, then reverse if corn declines. He favors a flexible plan to maximize pork sales at peak prices while minimizing hogs when corn is costly, noting farmers rely on intuition and simple analysis can misprice markets.
