I just got the latest edition of the Pork Industry Report from the Nebraska Pork Producers Association delivered to me. You can listen to this week’s program here: ne-pork.mp3 Now this should be in an rss feed which would make it a podcast! I looked all over the website but didn’t see it set up as such. NE Pork Talk …

The traveling agriblogger is going to take most of the next day and a half off before hitting the road again so you may not see much new from me until the end of the weekend. But then it’s off to new places. The first stop next week is Richland, MI for an event with Pfizer Animal Health titled, “Delivering …

While AAEA was meeting so was LPC. Here’s new LPC president Kyle Haley alongside now past president Lisa Bryant. It sounds like LPC is doing great both in membership and financially. I know their involvement with AMS has helped this just like it has with AAEA. I interviewed Kyle and will feature that interview in next week’s ZimmCast. You’ll hear …
