Free seminars that address current environmental issues and the Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) that has decimated the Iowa and U.S. swine herd will be held in July for Iowa hog farmers.
The Iowa Pork Producers Association is partnering with the Iowa Pork Industry Center at Iowa State University in Ames to offer five meetings around the state. IPPA encourages all Iowa hog farmers to attend one of these valuable meetings.
“IPPA is strongly committed to investing Pork Checkoff funds toward research and outreach that can advance our mission of educating for a sustainable, socially responsible, profitable and globally competitive industry,” said Tyler Bettin, IPPA producer education director.
The featured presenters are IPPA legal counsel Eldon McAfee and Rodney “Butch” Baker, DVM, director of the Iowa Pork Industry Center.
