Abstract:
Early colonists brought hogs along for food. Until the Civil War, hogs were raised for home use and selling out-of-state. After the war, Midwestern farmers captured the pork market, and N.C. hog sales declined. It was not until the 1970s that hog-raising became big business and a major economic and environmental concern. Today hogs in the state outnumber people two to one.
