    HOGS HAVE been one of the most important sources of cash income for Minnesota farmers for many years. During the decade 1940-49, hogs ranked first, dairy products second, cattle and calves third, and poultry products and eggs fourth (table 1). The income from hogs has varied from approximately 20 to 25 per cent of total cash receipts1 from the sale of products by Minnesota farmers since shortly after World War I. Since the middle 1920's, livestock and livestock products, including hogs, have accounted for about three-fourths of the total cash receipts.
