Today on the show, we are joined by Mark Schwartz, assistant professor at the University of Minnesota and a pork producer, as well as Brent Pepin, director of swine health for the National Pork Board. In this episode, we get a crash course on what PRRS is, before we talk about the economic impacts of the disease in the US and what biosecurity steps their producers are taking.
