Star Tribune reports that China's pig herd fell about 17% in the 12 months to February 28 because of African swine fever, sending US hog futures sharply higher. October lean hog futures closed at $82.23 on Friday, up from about $140 per head three weeks earlier, and farmers rushed to lock in sales.
Expected Chinese pork shortfalls are lifting US hog prices and encouraging forward sales, which could support hog-feed demand in the near term.
