Pork Producers Invited to Jan. 6 ICN Program
AMES, Iowa -- The Iowa Pork Industry Center (IPIC) at Iowa State University invites pork producers to a Thursday, Jan. 6, 2000, Iowa Communications Network (ICN) program featuring information on a new producer-owned cooperative and potential hog market trends.
Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA) task force member Roger Coon will provide information on that group's decision to create a producer-owned cooperative. IPPA consultant Mike Doyle will explain the results of retail research done for the task force. ISU economist James Kliebenstein will describe the results of an IPPA-sponsored producer survey which focused on marketing programs and methods used by Iowa pork producers, and ISU economist John Lawrence will present an update on the Dec. 28 USDA Hogs & Pigs Report. Time for questions and discussion will be provided.
The program will run from 7-8:30 p.m. and originates from the Iowa State University campus.
There is no cost to attend the program. For more information, contact your local county ISU Extension office. The list of committed sites is as follows:
