  6. What kinds of things do farmers feed pigs? Grains, like corn. • What would cause the prices of feed to go up? Weather conditions or crop diseases that might cause the price of grains to rise. • Why would farmers slaughter hogs when feed prices increase? Cheaper to kill them than feed them until they got bigger. • Why would fewer hogs be available for sale after the prices drop? Fewer pigs would have been born. • What does the article say has affected demand? Fast food breakfasts, BLT season, vacation travelers. • What are some other things that could affect demand? Medical studies on fats, bacteria scares, big seller in restaurants, cookbook sales, etc.

  7. Supply and Demand Example • Think about yesterday’s “ice” activity. • Using examples from the discussion questions from Manitoba Pigs, create as many discussion questions about “ice” from Canada as possible. • The number of questions will be counted in the competition total.

  8. Province Advertisement • Using the province summary, create an advertisement for your province. • The class will assess, with a thumbs up, thumbs down, or flat hand. • In the end, I will determine the winner, which will be counted toward the competition. • If a different province wins different competitions, the winner will be determined by myself (Mrs. McFarlane), based on overall effort, creativity, evidence of thinking, and participation.
