Iowa Farmers Kept More Sows in 1927 Than Previous Year
Des Moines reports from the Iowa weather and crop bureau show sows bred for spring 1927 farrowing reached 2 052 641, up 7.1 percent from 1 915 127 in 1926, with US Dept of Agriculture data noting a 9.4 percent rise in the December survey. Tax biases may undercount, but the trend remains. Hog prices fell in spring 1927 due to higher production driven by the 1925 corn bumper crop, offsetting losses from the 1925 harvest.
