Favorable Year Predicted for Hog Feeders
George C. Herring of the Blacksburg extension division predicts a favorable year for hog feeders as hog prices stay above 1928 levels and rise into summer. He notes that the average price for hogs slaughtered under Federal inspection in the seven months ending May 1929 was 9.77 per hundred pounds, up from 8.52 the previous year, with prices climbing since mid December and continuing into the current cycle. He explains last year’s high summer prices were helped by corn scarcity causing market timing shifts.

Hog market outlook calls for steady supply and higher prices
The analysis predicts a normal distribution of hog supplies this year with a continued price rise. The late fall decline should be milder than last year, and winter spring prices should exceed the prior season's 9.77. Farmers should market spring pig crops in early fall and finish fall crops for late March or April markets to secure profits.
