Okoboji, Iowa — Pork producers in northwest Iowa are invited to attend a one-day swine production seminar on March 30 in Okoboji.
The program is sponsored by Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, University of Minnesota Extension, Hubbard Feeds and Elanco.
ISU Extension and Outreach swine specialist Dave Stender says the program is geared toward pork operation decision-makers, including owners and managers.
He will assist with hosting the program that runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Arrowwood Resort Conference Center, 1405 Highway 71, Okoboji. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m. and lunch will be provided.
There’s no cost and although no preregistration is required, they’d appreciate it if you’d call Stender for a lunch count at 712-225-6196.
Stender says, “Regardless of the type of operation, if you’re involved in making decisions on your farm, you’ll want to attend this program,”
Primary topics are herd health, industry insights, market outlook, and production practices. Speakers are Jon Greteman of CIH, Dan Hamilton of PIC, Orlando Gil of TCTS Global, Chris Rademacher, extension swine veterinarian at Iowa State, and Andy “Caygeon” Junkin, of Agriculture Strategy.
