# Pork Market Insights for the Second Half of 2022 | Farm Bureau Intel Markets | American Farm Bureau Federation

> The American Farm Bureau's market analysis reviews the first half of 2022 in pork markets, noting volatile lean hog futures with an August contract high of $123.44 in March. Cash prices have run well above the five-year average, and the report considers supply factors including the quarterly Hogs and Pigs report. It suggests a traditional seasonal high for 2022 may already have occurred.
