Individual hog farmers wonder how the combined control, both of farmers contracted to produce hogs, and the end producer of processed meats, will affect them. North Carolina Farm Bureau will be watching the industry very closely. The state is also considering alternatives to the lagoon system, long used by hog farmers to store waste before it is re-applied to fields as fertilizer. Current public meetings on the subject will be followed by state recommended solutions. These and other matters are of great concern to North Carolina animal producers.
Communication is the key and knowledge is the way.
Many fears can be based on the unknown, and when it comes to agriculture there is a lot to learn, just to be on speaking terms. Farmers share and farmers care. If you do not understand the terminology used, say so and they will be happy to explain. Send mail to the Webmaster with questions or comments about this web site. Inc.
