Cooperatives’ Role in Hog Contract Production

Author

  • Rhodes, V. James

Abstract

In the next 20 years the role of feed supply cooperatives in the hog industry will change greatly or largely disappear. Larger super-producers of hogs continue to grow. Whether vertically integrated or not, super-producers generally mill their own feed. The role of cooperatives needs to be changed. Cooperatives can help their hog producer-members to compete with these super-producers or can become super-producers themselves.
