The headline is backward.

"Prices Rise as Bacon reserves hit 50-year low" would be more accurate

It's a process. Piglets don't become bacon immediately. It's impossible to know what next years demand will be.

It is correct either way, or can be correct either way.  If prices rise, say because demand has changed for extrinsic reasons, then reserves will drop as more suppliers put a greater percentage of their output into the market instead of reserving it.

It's not impossible to have a pretty good idea what next years demand will be.  If it were, then raising pigs would be a crap shoot and few farmers would do it, leading to much higher prices.

I was just funnin' ya. 

But in the unlamented language of an endless other thread, even if piglets aren't bacon now, they have the potential to become bacon....

Happened to my sister years ago...power went out when they were on vacation..when it came back on it tripped the breaker..they lost everything in their fridge and deep freezer...this was in the summer and when the opened the freezer the smell about knocked them out....had to get rid of the freezer because they could never get the smell out of it...

We used to have a beach house.  One of the fridge/freezers died.  My wife went for visit while I was working too many hours.  Give the stench and the amount of maggots, it had to have been dead for a couple weeks.  It was probably the only weekend I was glad I didn't go with her.

We didn't even consider trying to reuse it.

Okay.  You may not want to promote that visual.
