At the end of the month,  the U-S Department of Agriculture will issue its Quarterly Hogs and Pigs report.  Ag Economist, Steve Meyer with Partners with Production Agriculture offers his perspective on the outlook.  Pork producers are having to contend with high grain costs and other high input costs.  Meyer says he doesn’t see the situation showing much improvement.  Meyer says last year producers witnessed strong demand for their pork product.  He isn’t certain if that demand will remain as strong for this year.
