Didn't expect this. A worldwide bacon shortage. http://lifeinc.today.com/_news/2012/09/25/14095135-bacon-shortage-worldwide-unavoidable-uk-pig-group-says?lite#__utma=14933801.1654807668.1348593797.1348593797.1348593797.1&__utmb=14933801.5.10.1348593797&__utmc=14933801&__utmx=-&__utmz=14933801.1348593797.1.1.utmcsr=(direct)|utmccn=(direct)|utmcmd=(none)&__utmv=14933801.|8=Earned%20By=msnbc%7Ccover=1^12=Landing%20Content=Mixed=1^13=Landing%20Hostname=www.nbcnews.com=1^30=Visit%20Type%20to%20Content=Earned%20to%20Mixed=1&__utmk=187268392Might want to get your fill of ham this year, because "a world shortage of pork and bacon next year is now unavoidable," according to an industry trade group. Blame the drought conditions that blazed through the corn and soybean crop this year. Less feed led to herds declining across the European Union "at a significant rate," according to the National Pig Association in Britain. And the trend "is being mirrored around the world," according to a release. The announcement was first reported in the Financial Times. In the second half of next year, the number of slaughtered pigs could fall 10%, doubling the price of European pork, according to the release. The trade group urged supermarkets to pay pig farmers a fair price for the meat to help cover the drought-related losses. In U.S. warehouses, pork supply soared to a record last month, rising 31% to 580.8 million pounds at the end of August from a year earlier, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The surge came as farmers scaled down their herds as feeding the animals became increasingly expensive. In July, global food prices leaped 10% from the month before, according to the World Bank. Maize and wheat jumped 25% while soybeans rose 17 percent. |

Peaches,
I have a deal with 4 area feed stores to buy all of their surplus feed, torn bags, or bags with weevils. I end up with several tons of cattle feed per month at very good prices. I always pass on the pig feed... Now I will start buying the pig feed too. Just this week I was offered two pallets of Lindners 632 @$2.50 bag. That feed runs about 31.00 bag retail. This past weekend I picked up one pallet of show calf starter, and a pallet of all stock, for a total of $96.00. Bags had just passed the 90 day mark in inventory, so they sold it for a little over a dollar each.
