The Director of Risk Management with h@ms Marketing Services says most Canadian pork producers have taken steps to protect themselves from the rising value of the Canadian dollar and the anticipated softening of live hog prices resulting from anticipated record hog supplies over the next three to six months.

H@ms Marketing Services suggests, two hog processing plants expected to come on line next month will be key to easing the pressure of increasing hog supplies.

The Director of Risk Management with h@ms Marketing Services says the normal gradual seasonal increase in hog supplies over the next three months can be expected to negatively impact live hog prices.
