Missouri Pork Association Endorses Chris Koster for Governor

 Today, the Missouri Pork Association announced its endorsement of Attorney General Chris Koster for Governor.

“Chris Koster has been a  supporter of Missouri agriculture and the pork industry, and we are proud to support him in his bid for Governor,” said Scott Phillips, chairman of the Missouri Pork Association. “We believe he is committed to strengthening the state’s agricultural climate for Missouri farm families now and in the future.”

Attorney General Koster has taken the lead on many agricultural issues, including being a strong advocate for the recent Missouri Right to Farm Amendment. He has taken on the EPA over their onerous Waters of the U.S. Rule and challenged California’s restrictions on interstate commerce for agricultural products.

In Queen Anne in Queen Anne’s county, Farmer David Denny works hard to raise hundreds of chickens so that they may reach regular growth milestones on schedule. This is important because poultry integrators like Purdue require the chickens to be a certain size and weight in a set number of weeks. How can such a feit be accomplished so consistently in such a short period of time? It’s all due to the birds' carefully planned diet, which is tailor-made to meet their nutritional needs.

These grains are in turn used to create the exact feed which provides the necessary nutrients to the David Denny Farm’s poultry.
