CHAPTER XV 



THE COST OF PRODUCING PORK 



IN this chapter are brought together the several deter- 

 minations which have been made in the previous chapters 

 on the feed costs of maintaining the breeding herd and 

 growing and finishing the market pig. To these have 

 been added the cost for labor, interest, depreciation and 

 insurance on equipment, and other charges. With these 

 data, the attempt has been made to determine the actual 

 cost of production under corn-belt conditions.
