The South Dakota Pork Congress was held last week in Sioux Falls. Dr. Meredith Peterson, director of swine health, National Pork Board, said important work is being done. “Programs like AgView, Secure Pork Supply, the Certified Swine Sample Collector Program; we have that suite of programs to really help producers become more prepared for FADs.” Peterson said there is a lot of optimism in the pork industry. “I think we had a lot of challenges over the past 18-24 months and people are now starting to get to the other side of that and hopefully we can see some progress in terms of profitability for the industry.”
