SwineCast will be at the 2008 Banff Pork Seminar
With less than a month until to the Banff Pork Seminar (to be held January 15 to 18, 2008), SwineCast is offering you the opportunity to provide input on topics of interest and issues of concern. It’s just part of our commitment to facilitate conversation between all segments of the pork production community – so that you can share your ideas with others in the industry.
The link below is a brief (6 questions!) survey on conference topics and areas of interest to you. Let us know your thoughts.

Your input will used in planning the coverage of the 2008 Banff Pork Seminar, as well as other pork production industry conferences.
Because we believe that your input is so important to the industry, we are offering a special incentive for completing the survey.
All surveys received in the SwineCast office by Monday, January 7th, 2008, will be entered in a drawing for a SwineCast Wind Vest. This V-neck vest is fully lined, with high-quality matching rib on the neckline, armholes and waistband – and with side seam pockets.
