Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966 [ ]
p.256 (pdf page 269)
The war brought nothing really new into the world; rather it sped up processes of change which had been going on for a considerable period and would have continued anyway, with the result that changes which would have taken place over a period of 30 or even 50 years in peacetime were brought about in 5 years during the war. Also, the the changes were much greater in objective facts and in the organization of society than they were in men's ideas of these facts or organization.

More damaging than the reduction in the number of farm animals (which was made up in 6 or 7 years), or he drain on the fertility of the soil (which could be made up in 12 or 15 years), was the disruption of Europe's integration of agricultural production (which was never made up).
• The gestation and maturation delay in building up breeding populations of animals or plants, causing the characteristic oscillations of commodity prices: 4-year cycles for pigs, 7 years for cows, 11 years for cocoa trees.8

Pigs. Pigs are normally kept on mixed farms where they can be fed cheaply on farm by-products or coarse grains. In Denmark, for example, the Landrace pig, which has been carefully bred to produce bacon economically, is fed on barley and the skim milk left over from butter making. Pigs eat less and fatten more quickly if warm and dry, and this helps to cover the high capital cost of the buildings which are essential for housing them in the winter in northern countries.
It takes about four months to fatten up a pig for pork, and rather longer for bacon. The breeding cycle can be completed in six months, and pigs normally litter 8─10, so it is possible to increase the supply of pig meat rapidly. This cause big cyclical fluctuations, scarcity of pigs at high prices alternating with abundance of pigs at low prices.
