million head, is three percent less
than a year ago, and eight percent
below two years earlier. Market
hog inventory, at 36.4 million head,
is three percent below last year
and nine percent less than Sep
tember 1983.
The June-August 1985 pig crop
was 16.9 million head, one percent
below the corresponding period
last year and five percent below
two years ago. There were 2.19
million sows that farrowed during
June-August, down three percent
from a year earlier and 10 percent
less than the same period two
years ago.
Sows farrowing during June-
August 1985 averaged 7.73 pigs per
litter compared with 7.60 last year
and 7.36 during the comparable
period two years ago.
Hog producers in the 10 quar
terly states intend to farrow 2.27
million sows during September-
November of this year. This is two
percent fewer than during the
comparable period in 1984 and five
percent below the 1983 period.
Farrowing intentions for the
December 1985-February 1986
quarter are 1.93 million head,
fractionally below a year earlier
and two percent below the com
parable period two years earlier.
Soybean rates
set by USDA
WASHINGTON - Basic county
loan and purchase rates for 1985-
crop soybeans grading U.S. No. 2
or better have been issued by
Everett Rank, administrator of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service.
Rank said the basic 1985-crop
soybean rates are based on the
national average loan and pur
chase rate of $5.02 per bushel. An
exception is made for foreign
material.
Changes in the area-to-area
relationships, prices received by
farmers, and trends in production
and consumption, resulted in some
adjustments, Rank said.
