feed ad datives. Feeders should
follow withdrawal instructions
on feeds; if producers don’t act,
the government will put regula
tions on it, Henkel reported.
Asked about the latest word
on the oversupply of pork and
low hog prices, Henkel said pork
is “moving very well” and the
feeling is that the “worst is
over ” The next six weeks
should bring to an end the large
market gluts which resulted
from the 20 per cent buildup in
hog numbers last year, Henkel
said
He noted that hog producers
are still concerned because re
tail prices did not move down
enough to reflect the low prices
to producers, he said pork in
storage does not appear to be
too excessive The outlook Is
for smaller maiketings and a
better hog market in about six
weeks.
