We’re heading to the World Pork Expo, where thousands gathered this week. Let’s discuss the latest and greatest advancements in the pork industry with our friends at the National Pork Producers Council.
Doug Frickey, with the National Pork Producers Council, joined us on Friday on the Market Day Report to recap another successful event.
In his interview with RFD-TV’s own Suzanne Alexander, Frickey shared some of the exhibits and key events attendees enjoyed this year and what to expect at next year’s event. He also discussed producer sentiment in the wake of tariffs, vaccines, and other big news in pork.
