No. I never look at the price of food. I just pick up and pay for what I want to eat.

Mexico and China Tariffs should help hog prices. According to the USDA, we have the lowest quantity of pork in storage now than at any point in the last 60 years. Look for prices to go up in stores and no doubt will never go down, but good prices will be short lived for hog farmers.

Private sales are best for me

Cheap hogs here have filled all of the locker bookings. If you home kill you are OK, but you will have a very hard time getting a custom kill. Deer season opens soon and that will make things even more hectic.

I wonder if the NC floods have anything to do with the market change?

If hog producers make a few nickels, this is a good thing.

That I have done - a lot. It is curing ham and bacon that I don't know how to do.

I think you all are a lot warmer there so curing a country ham would be hard without a cool place. Bacon can be done in the fridge pretty easy though. You can do city hams in a 5 gallon bucket if there not huge and can get it in a cooler or fridge.

We have a couple of "utility" refrigerators. I wrap deer quarters is a sheet for a couple of days before I cut it up. They go in one of those refrigerators. Putting a ham or three in wouldn't be a problem.
I could probably get on U-Tube and sort it out. Problem is the person doing the teaching could be an idiot. You see that all the time with various projects.

I would like to know the trick of the trade.
