The June/July edition of Prairie Hog Country

The core section of the June/July edition of Prairie Hog Country was sent to press last week, it will be in hands of Canada Post tomorrow Thursday June 8th, at which time the on line updates will also be completed.

This issue is full of latest hog news and information. Starting of course the Olymel announcement recently. In addition coverage from recent Manitoba Pork AGM, research on tailoring pig genetics, successful ongoing renovations, new chair for Alberta Pork, Prop 12, number of farmers, new CLT training and so so much more.

A reminder it’s time to get out those phones and take pictures for the annual photo contest and a chance to be included in the 2024 Prairie Hog Country Calendar. Please email your high-resolution photos to hogcountry@shaw.ca. As I say every year, please only submit photos that are a positive reflection of our hog sector. Deadline to be entered into the photo contest is July 14th

Thanks to all who filled out and submitted the annual readership survey, complete results will be released in the August edition.
