The general manager of the Saskatchewan Pork Development
Board says there is support from producer groups across Canada for a national
agency such as the one serving the beef industry.
That's fine for him to say, but I wonder what hog farmers think.
Hearings were held by the national Farm Products Council
last week into proposal the hog industry has made to set up a national agency
with a mandatory checkoff on all market hogs.
The money would be used for research and market development.
