Hog/Corn Ratio

Understanding the correlation between feeding costs and the value of hogs is crucial in the world of finance. This is determined by dividing the price of hogs by the price of corn. When pork prices are high compared to corn prices, a smaller amount of corn is needed to equal the value of 100 pounds of pork. On the other hand, when corn prices are low in comparison to pork prices, a larger amount of corn is required to equal the value of 100 pounds of pork. This concept is also referred to as Feed Ratio.
