Pork profitability turns a corner

Pork profitability turns a corner

An animal protein analyst says pork producers’ profits may have changed course.

Brian Earnest, at CoBank, tells Brownfield after 17 straight months…

“Producers are back in the black after being in the red for several periods, so you know, maybe some room for optimism as we’re thinking about 2024,” he says.

Earnest says declining feed costs have been a major factor, but so has the uptick in domestic demand.
