Not only did the younger Wallace (both father and son were Secretaries of Agriculture) champion corn-hog cycle research, he was himself one of the earliest practictioners. See for example this 1932 book review.

“[Sewell] Wright also had trouble with the publication of his monumental analysis of corn and hog correlations. It was rejected by the officials in the Department of Agriculture on the grounds that an animal husbandman had no business writing about economics. Henry Wallace, later to become Vice President, eventually learned of the paper and, through the influence of his father, then Secretary of Agriculture, arranged for its publication. This may well have been the zenith of the Harding administration.” — Wright’s Eulogy by James F. Crow, Professor Emeritus of Genetics and Medical Genetics, University of Wisconsin (1988)
