Small Hog Operation Payment

The Small Hog Operation Payment (SHOP) is a 1999 program, funded through USDA’s Section 32 account and administered by the Department's Farm Service Agency, that provided approximately $178 million in direct payments to hog producers to compensate them for low hog prices in late 1998. Under the ad hoc program, producers were eligible for up to $10 per hog on the first 500 hogs marketed during the last 6 months of 1998.
