> Anybody know where I can find out the average hog price for the last ten years?
As I recall, the ams (agricultural marketing service) of the USDA
maintains data for the last 5 years prices on their
website. I don't deal much in animal products and will have to check my
bookmarks to see how I got in there (I was checking
on lard prices some time back and there are different ways in - directly
through the USDA or through various universities),
but I suggest you try the following and let me know if you don't find
what you need.
http://www.usda.gov/ams/search.htm
Here's somthing closer that I found in my files:
gopher://shelley.ca.uky.edu:70/11/agmkts/market_wire/meat
also:
gopher://shelley.ca.uky.edu:70/00/.agwx/usr/markets/usda/NWLS442
I these don't come through as active links you'll have to copy them to
your browers URL window etc., or gopher to them if you
use that.
One or both may be linked to specific dates so you'll probably have to
navigate a bit from there to find just what you need.
