Decisions around sow barn remodeling, reducing sow herd inventory, and adjusting gilt flow are challenges pork producers face in becoming Prop 12 compliant.
The Iowa Pork Producers Association is partnering with four Iowa State University football players to promote the pork industry.
Researchers from North Carolina State University and Iowa State University have demonstrated an automated technology capable of accurately measuring the angle of leaves on corn plants in the field. This technology makes data collection on leaf angles significantly more efficient than conventional techniques, providing plant breeders with useful data more quickly. “The angle of a […]
Inflation hit a 40-year high in June, slowing slightly in July 0f 2022. Simply put, people are getting poorer. But, it’s not just low to-middle class America that’s hurting; it’s the upper class and rural America too.
