<<Hogs are also selling for $45 and that's no heavenly ham to a farmer who probably spent twice that to produce it.>>

That's on the futures, cash price on lean hogs is around 28 cents a pound. Costs about 40 cents a pound to raise them. Lots of small farmers are not raising hogs anymore, the mega raisers have an edge on costs but you don't want to live close to one.
