Hog Price Steady Ahead for 30 Days Says Iowa State
Ames March 11 The Iowa State College agricultural economics department says hog prices should stay steady for about 30 days with no strong reason for a large change. Despite higher pork and lard stocks and lower export volume, prices may react to any rise in receipts. Normal seasonal gains did not appear in February, and current demand trends suggest only a modest outlook as lighter next 30 days receipts temper declines.
