Hog-Corn Ratio Revisited This ratio, computed simply as the price of hogs per hundred pounds live weight divided by the price of corn per bushel, has long been an indicator of pork producers' profitability and, thus, a predictor of output 12 to 24 months hence.

Second, the technological shift from small, single-site hog farms to much larger, multiple-site operations was in full swing in the mid-'90s. nationalhogfarmer.com /marketpreview/hog-corn-ratio   (670 words)

While Jericho enjoyed the benefits of low expectations -- frankly, most fans had little idea going in what the Band would sound like on record without Robertson's songs and lead guitar work -- High on the Hog wasn't as strong a record, and it suffers more in comparison with the group's original body of work.

Eating high on the hog Hog farming is all the 45-year-old Kremer has wanted to do since he was 5 years old, but that winter he traded a 250-pound hog off his Osage County farm for a case of Miller Lite beer. Nationwide, nearly 80 percent of hogs are raised on farms producing 5,000 or more hogs per year, the National Pork Producers Council reports. To compete on that market, the 34 Missouri farmers decided to raise hogs without added hormones or antibiotics and raise them in more humane conditions, steps that would make their meat more valuable. www.missourifarmersunion.org /coop/eatinghighnl.htm   (1307 words)

Wordlab Living high on the hog meant originally that you ate what were regarded as the superior cuts of meat, the ones on the higher parts of the animal (the cuts above?)--pork chops, hams, etc.--as against the belly, feet, knuckles, jowls, and the like. Common sense would indicate that, based on the origins of the idiom, the correct version is high "on" the hog. The reference is not to living off the hog, but to living off the cuts high on the hog. www.wordlab.com /2004/03/priggish-is-living-high-on-hog-or.cfm   (360 words)

Eatin’ high on the hog Let’s see: bacon, ham, loin, pork chops and ribs are truly “eatin’ high on the hog.” Barbequed ribs are the all-time favorite, and now we enjoy something called Boston Butt which until a few years ago was pork shoulder. Several fires had been built and scalding-hot water was inside those 55 gallon drums where the hog was dragged and placed, swirled around to get a good scald, and pulled out by the ears; then reversed to scald the other end. Meat packing companies have supplanted hog killing and smoke houses and rendering lard, and cooking out cracklins, and making sausages, but I am only one generation removed from this ritual which provided families earlier in the 20th century with their meat supply. www.southalabamian.com /news/2006/1207/people/070.html   (589 words)
