HARRISBURG -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is contacting producers for the September Hogs and Pigs survey. This survey is a comprehensive gathering of quarterly data on market hog and breeding stock inventories as well as pig crop and farrowing intentions in every state.
“Pennsylvania inventory of all hogs and pigs on June 1, 2024, was 1.44 million head. This was up 6.7% from June 1, 2023, and down 1.37% from March 1, 2024,” said Kevin Pautler, acting director of the NASS Northeastern Regional Field Office.
NASS mailed questionnaires to all producers selected for the survey in late-August. To ensure all survey participants have an opportunity to respond, NASS interviewers will contact producers who do not respond by mail or online to conduct telephone and personal interviews.
