US - Hog producers continue to supply a lot of pork to the market. Commercial pork production in June came in 15.1 per cent above the year ago level and caused production for the first half of the year to surpass the 2014 number by 7.1 per cent. This is in spite of dressed hog weights that have been running 2-3 pounds lighter than last year for the past three months, write Ron Plain and Scott Brown, University of Missouri.
