Abstract

Erratic hog prices in recent years have compounded management problems. As a result, interest has increased in ways of tying down prices before the hogs are ready for market. This report presents results of a study of one approach to the problem -- hedging in the futures market.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 11, 1976
