Pork Commentary: USA Corn Crop Record Size
2013-11-12 01:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
US - The US Corn Crop was estimated by the USDA last week to be a record 13.989 billion bushels. There will be much guessing on how much corn will be exported, used for ethanol and consumed for livestock. All we know is that corn is now approaching a price not seen for three years. Cheaper feed will let hog farmers make some money. It’s our turn, writes Jim Long.

Pork Commentary: June Lean Hogs reach 99.95
2013-10-29 01:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
CANADA - Last Friday June Lean Hog futures reached 99.95! The market is now beginning to realize there was no expansion to get more hogs to market by next summer. With feed costs about $100 per head farrow to finish. The $100 spread from $1.00 lean hogs and $100 feed cost is really, really nice after the too many months of financial losses, writes Jim Long.
