						 | The Pig Site

> October lean hog futures fell to a six-week low this week, and the CME lean hog index dropped $1.18 to $118.00. Pork cutout fell to a three-month low at $102.99, driven partly by a drop of over $6 in pork bellies. A group of Senate Democrats also urged USDA to step back from plans to promote methane digesters on livestock farms.
