Under Secretary Schnittker
made the following statement:
“As hog producers, you gen
tlemen and your members rate
as the best in the country and
in the world. I have raised
some hogs starting with a Sears
4*H project pig in 1940. But
after many years I no longer
feel confident talking to you
about hog production prac
tices.
“There is one point however,
which I know something about
and which I would like to dis
cuss with you today. It will be
critical to you and all hog pro
ducers in coming months. This
is; pork supplies and hog
prices.
“For perspective, let’s review
the past several years. Only
four years ago in 1963-64

“So the pi ices you will get
for your product next year
rest on the decisions you and
your fellow pioducers make
in the next seveial months. A
wise man once warned that
those who do not learn from
the mistakes of the past are
doomed to repeat them. Will
history repeat itself in the
pork industry? Of will you
continue to move forward by
keeping supplies in line with
demand.
‘I urge you to use your in
fluence with other swine pro
ducers to smooth out the hog
cycle. This is easily within the
reach of a group such as this.”
