Cost of Organic Pork Production
Iowa State University's Ben Larson and Professor James Kliebenstein (Department of Economics) and Associate Professor Mark Honeyman (Department of Animal Science) investigate the cost of organic pork production.

There were also seasonal differences: moving from a seasonal (summer only) farrowing system to continuous farrowing had significant cost implications.
