Profits have been on the slim side for pork producers most of the time since mid-1979. There have been a few months of modest profits during this period but nothing to get very excited about, says University of Delaware Extension marketing specialist Carl German. “Prospects are beginning to look a bit brighter, however, with pork production again in a cyclical downturn,” says German. “Price and profit prospects for late this year look better. And if farrowings continue to drop below year-earlier levels during the next few months, prospects for 1982 will show further improvement.” Estimates developed by agricultural economists at lowa State University indicated large losses from farrow-to-finish hog operations from the fall 1979 through the first half of 1980. After a short period of moderate profits in the summer and fall 1980, sizable losses again were the rule during the first half of 1981. With some rebound in hog prices, estimates showed modest profits last summer with an average positive return of about $4 per head estimated for hogs sold during Check These Features: Low Oil Pressure.

With less pork available, U.S. per capita con sumption of pork is dropping back this year from the high 1980 level. Consumption per person this year will average about 65 pounds of pork, down from 70 pounds in 1980 but well above levels in the 1975-78 period when annual consumption per person ranged from 51 to 57 pounds.

German says the turnaround in profitability, although modest so far, has been due largely to a cutback in hog production in the United States. Producers started cutting back on farrowings in the spring 1980 in response to large losses during the last half of 1979 and early 1980. Farrowings have continued below year-earlier levels since then with farrowings in the last December-May period about 10 percent below the previous year. U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates are ex pected to show further farrowing reductions in the last half of this year and into 1982.

That’s true this year and higher prices are likely in 1982. Last year, with 70 pounds of pork consumption per person in the U.S., the average price of 200-240 pounds barrows and gilts in Delaware was about $39.75 per 100 pounds. “This year,' with the per capita supply down to around 65 pounds, the average price is expected to be around $45 per hundredweight,” he says. “And there’s a good chance the 1982 average will top $5O. “Despite some improvement this year, 1981 will not be a good profit year overall,” German predicts. “While many, producers will show a profit on hogs sold during the last half of the year, this mav not offset losses on hogs sold durmgffie7irsthalf7 r The economist says the profit outlook for 1982 looks better at this time.

That’s still un certain since the size of the crop actually harvested will be the main influence on feed costs. Although some non-feed costs of production will rise further, he says there’s a good chance that 1982 will be a better year for most pork producers. Concern.then turns to how soon farrowings will again increase. A big com crop, lower feed prices and moderate improvement in profitability could encourage larger farrowings by the late spring or summer of next year. Those pigs would be ready for market in late 1982 and early 1983. NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN FILL THE SHOES? Try A Help Wanted Ad In Classified.
