CANADA - For most hog producers in the small patch that is Southwestern Ontario, those that are also dirt farmers have had harvests that have gone quite well, writes Bob Fraser – Sales & Service, Genesus OntarioWeather has been mostly cooperative with edible beans long complete, soybeans and winter wheat planting virtually complete, and corn rapidly approaching 50% done. Although there is always exceptions to every rule, most are reporting record or near record yields across all crops. However, as with every year (but particularly this year) rains could be patchy. There are certainly some that didn’t catch timely rains and therefore this wasn’t their experience, but that seems to be the minority.The OMAFRA Swine Team ([email protected]) has in their 2016 Ontario Monthly Hog Market Facts – Net Return for a Farrow to Finish operation in July of $34.87. In August, it has dropped drastically to $1.06. September has seen the erosion continue to -$12.86. So on the doorstep of the fourth quarter, a traditionally tough quarter for pork production.

　　在安大略省加裕公司销售与服务部工作的鲍勃弗雷泽写道，就安大略省西南部那一小块地方的养猪者来说，自耕农也能在那儿获得不错的收成。食用豆尤其适应这儿的天气。大豆与冬小麦能够基本适应天气，而快速生长的玉米惟独50%的适应率。虽然万事皆有约摸，但在那儿的绝大多数农作物总能创生产纪录或者接近以往的产量。然而，由于每年的雨季不规律(尤其是今年)，总会有些人没有及时抓住雨季，影响生产，因此不能仅仅凭靠经验养殖，但这些人始终是少数。OMAFRA养猪团队在2016安大略省月度生猪市场状况报告中写道，七月养猪生产从仔猪到育肥结束过程的净收益为34.87美元。而后，净收益在八月大幅下跌1.06美元。九月潞傍下跌12.86美元。所以在第四季度降临之际，猪肉生产要经历一个很艰苦的季度。
