Abstract

The risk of alternative management strategies for midwestern hog enterprises is quantified using results from a single-index model. Results suggest that combining farrowing and finishing may not always be the best strategy for hog producers. Diversification into feed production, cash crops, and nonfarm investments may be better in some situations.
