Extract

During the past few years, considerable interest has been expressed by swine producers, pork packers, and processors concerning the potential for expanding Oklahoma's swine-pork industry, even though the state's largest hog slaughtering facility has ceased operation. The study described herein was undertaken to satisfy these interests. The general objective was to identify the conditions necessary for and the limits to the expansion of Oklahoma's swine-pork industry. Due to the national scope of the model, similar information concerning other regions is also made available. The objective was addressed through a series of sub-objectives that dealt with the determination of expansion potential under various exogenous conditions.
