North Dakota is not widely known for its hog production, producing anywhere from 100,000 to 150,000 hogs per year. Yet North Dakota Livestock Alliance Executive Director Amber Boeshans says that is a selling point to attract new producers. “You cannot put a price tag on biosecurity and in North Dakota, we can put 15 miles between hog facilities without breaking a sweat.” Boeshans says the industry is coming together and saying they we want pig production. “The crop producers and organizations want to see their feed produced in the state fed in the state to animals. We want to capture that value-added.” That’s what the NDLA Pig Conference and Trade Show was all about this past week. Hear the story.
