Farmers who want to successfully produce
pork on a small scale can preserve their independence in the face
of the consolidating hog industry. "Profitable Pork: Alternative
Strategies for Hog Producers" showcases examples of alternative
ways to raise pork profitably. In designing hog systems that work
on their farms - in deep-straw bedding, in hoop structures and on
pasture - producers have been able to save on fixed costs, find
greater flexibility, identify unique marketing channels and enjoy
a better quality of life. The 16-page bulletin features profiles
about successful hog producers as well as the latest research on
everything from greater profits to better-tasting pork raised in
alternative hog systems.
