The series of presentations now online at SwineCast.com/ConferenceConnection will be of value for your organization. From the the Minnesota Pork Congress facility management presentation to Eldon McAfee's presentation on Iowa Environmental Issues (which includes a great update on national and international concerns), these are a great crop of management and production information. Please make use of these resources.

We have had many inquiries in the past on presentations available. There are several years of presentations and conversations in the SwineCast.com archive. Just enter the topic of interest in the search box on the SwineCast home page and see what comes up. Or use the Browse Topics library to get started.

BTW - our purpose is to extended the sharing of industry information. If your organization or business is interested in joining us in this endeavor, drop me a line at NArthur@SwineCast.com.
