IowaMark - 11/17/2017 07:18 Yep, I remember those days for sure. I put up a new 1200 head hog finisher in 1997 and had a lot of debt against it at that time. What saved my butt in that ordeal was I was in a program with Cargill that you bought their feeder pigs, fed their feed then sell the fat hogs back to them with a sales price that should’ve brought you a profit. It wasn’t a get quick program but it did pay the bills and I never lost any money during those ridiculously low cash hog prices. I knew of guys that sold during that timeframe that ended up getting out of hogs. Those were bad days for hog producers.


Did you ever feel like they were using you as the tool to cull your neighbors?
