A group of hog producers is currently working to form their own version of CWT (Cooperatives Working Together) for the hog industry. The CWT is a program for dairy cows that help stabilize the market by retiring cows. The hog industry currently does not have a program and Sows must be sold at slaughter prices rather then breeding prices. The new Swine CWT would help pay a higher value for the animals by members contributing $20 per Sow to the program.
