Hog Profitability on Iowa Farms in 1926 Survey
The 1926 Iowa group co operating with Iowa State college reported hogs as the top profit source, averaging over 800 dollars per farm and about 28 000 pounds of pork per farm. Despite cholera losses, several farms remained profitable, while others showed losses, and limited dairying reduced overall beef and milk returns. Eight hour workdays appear distant, with 1925 earnings higher for most farms and labor hours averaging 3 226 in 1925 and 3 393 in 1926.
