It's a Farming for the Future Friday with the Coalition to Support Iowa's Farmers. Today we are focused on the pork industry! Bob Quinn is joined CSIF's Brian Waddingham discussing the great opportunities in the state of Iowa for new hog farmers and how the Coalition can help with the understanding of all of the rules and regulations and establishing neighbor relationships. Humboldt County pork producer and past president of the Iowa Pork Producers Association, Kevin Rasmussen, tells us what he tells young people who are curious about getting into hog farming including the joys of living in rural Iowa.
