Weekly Outlook: Hog Prices Drop to Six Year Lows

2015-11-24 01:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News

US - Live hog prices fell below $40 per hundredweight last week.

The source of the current downturn in prices seems to have components from both supply and demand, writes Chris Hurt, Department of Agricultural Economics, Purdue University.
