The vast majority of hogs and pigs in the U.S. reside in the upper Midwest or Corn Belt states. Since 1990,
though, significant pork production has developed in North Carolina, the Oklahoma-Texas Panhandle region
and Utah.



 

 



 


Since 1997, U.S. hog inventories have moved from “fringe” Corn Belt areas and the southeast states and have become even more concentrated in Iowa, Minnesota, the high plains of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Colorado and Utah. Most of these areas are close to packing plants and have ample grain supplies.
