Abstract:
Trends in the size of swine operations in
Kansas and the V. S. are toward fewer and
larger operations. The number of operations in Kansas and the U.S. continues to decline;
however, the number of hogs marketed has increased because of an increase in operation
size. Kansas producers have increased operation size at a slower rate compared to U.S. producers. Kansas ranks tenth nationally in hogs marketed. A migration of swine production from eastern, central, and northern Kansas to southwest Kansas has occurred in the past 5 years.
