Are you considering getting into agriculture but not sure you want to take all the risk?  You’re going to want to tune into this episode!  After a six-month hiatus, returning guest, Dan Vague, joins hosts Jeff Jarrett and Sal Sama in the podcast room for this episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies.  Dan is the Vice President of Swine Production at SwineLink, a division of Premier Companies that handles the management for family-owned pork facilities. You’ll learn the ins and outs of SwineLink, a wean-to-finish program, and how it’s designed to get the younger generation back on the farm with more income streams.  Dan, Jeff, and Sal will explain how the sow share system works to allow the production of pigs that will be brought in and finished out as part of SwineLink.  You’ll learn how the pigs are raised and the automated systems that are installed in the barns and the processes involved to keep the pigs healthy and the facilities free from contamination.  Dan will also share what happens before the next group of pigs arrives to keep the barns clean and make sure the pigs will have a safe environment.  Curious about what’s happening in the swine market?  They’ll tackle that topic as well!  “The biggest thing for us, from a profitability standpoint, is to keep the pigs healthy…”
