Pig Political Issues

Post by cracklethepiglet » Sat Mar 17, 2018 10:49 pm

Hi again,

For my 4-H club, I need to give a presentation on "Pig Political Issues". I don't even know where to start - are there any resources anyone can think of, or does anyone have any knowledge of some current pig-related political issues?

thanks

ELD is probably the biggest current issue on the production side.
Tariffs and trade are pretty important from the meat side of the business.
Trent Loos wrote a good piece on ELD in the last Breeder’s Digest and the Pork Board or USMEF are your go to sources for trade.

I assume that ELD is Extra Label Drug use, correct HogDoc? I just was clarifying for cracklethepiglet.

Thanks for everyone's help, I really appreciate it! LzDy, I did some research and ELD stands for "Electronic Logging Device". Thank you so much for helping anyway!
