OldMcdonald - 3/13/2014 11:57 Just curious what the profit margin is with 127 hogs and 4.xx corn... or am I gonna get 'shusshed' for that one ;)
What's your pig cost either to produce or to buy?
It could be big time profit or not so much.
In a farrow-finish operation that has good production (hasn't been hit with PED, yet) its getting close to the profitability level of 200 bpa $8 corn on paid for ground, but it still takes more work and has more risk than raising corn.
