Know the area. My mother grew up on the iron range. Hibbing, Superior, etc. She went to High School in Duluth. All of the relatives from Duluth are gone now, but I liked the area.
Bacon is rediculous and it will not stay that high. Hogs reproduce so fast that before long there will be a glut again. The issue is feed cost. All grains are high, in tight supply and of course ADM, Continental and Cargill “own” the grain market.
It is easy to hunt hogs.
