More little pigs are going to
market, and that means more pork
chops, roasts, and hams in the
supermarkets. After extremely low
supplies in 1975 and 1976, pork
production is now on the rise. Exten
sion Service marketing specialists
point out that hog producers in
creased their '76 spring pig crop by
16 percent over a year earlier. These
little pigs, now grown, are beginning
to raise the amount of pork on the
market.
