On our latest episode, I had the honor of hosting the esteemed Cam Dahl, who is one of the greatest references in Canadian pig production. During this interesting discussion, Cam focused on how international trade significantly impacts our robust sector. In this way, we talked about the Canadian and Manitoba’s pork industry and the importance of global trade, the growth of pork production in North America, Prop 12 and at the end, he gave us a current overview of the industry in Canada. 

“The ability to adapt and adjust production when circumstances change is what truly distinguishes successful operations from those that are less so.”
