'Day of reckoning' for hog producers?
By MARK LEGAN Putnam County Extension Agent Putnam County hog producers are continuing to experience extremely good times, in terms of prices they are receiving, however, one local producer is aware of “the day of reckoning” will be hard to face, according to Mark Legan. While it is generally felt that this so-called “day of reckoning” will eventually catch up with producers, there are many ways local farmers can improve their efficiency to prepare for it and it all starts with record keeping to help management decisions. EVEN PRODUCERS WHO have not kept records should consider some of the reasons to begin. First, in the likelihood that hog prices will be considerably lower later this year and next, lenders and farmers will become increasingly concerned about costs of production. Having records is a tool which can reduce some of this anxiety and can provide clues as to portions of the operation

that need improvements. Secondly, the business of pork production is becoming more complex as new technology becomes available and needs to be evaluated on individual farms. A series of publications on record keeping has been developed by Purdue University specifically for swine producers. Each of the six is devoted to a particular area of record keeping to help producers determine what information is needed for efficient management and how to develop a system of data collection and analysis. AREAS INCLUDED IN THE series are: Developing a comprehensive system; tax and financial records; cost of production records; records for breeding stock, selection and culling; records for inventory/control communications and scheduling; records to measure production and productivity and to monitor herd health.” Swine producers may contact the Extension office for additional information or call 653-8411.
