Pork Producers Invited to April 6 ICN
AMES, Iowa -- The Iowa Pork Industry Center (IPIC) invites pork producers to an April 6 Iowa Communications Network (ICN) program featuring information on market trends, the world pork export outlook and a summary of the 1998 Iowa Swine Business Record results. The program will run from 7:30-9:30 p.m. and originates from the Iowa State University campus.
John Lawrence, Iowa State University Extension agricultural economist, will provide a market trend update from the March 26 USDA Hogs & Pigs Report, and will present information from a contract study he is conducting. Tom Baas of IPIC will summarize results from the 1998 Iowa Swine Business Records, and Dermot Hayes, Iowa State University agricultural economist, will provide a view of the world pork outlook, including export market potential. Time for questions and discussion will be provided.
