Iowans see pork exports poised for growth in Asia
IOWA - Two Iowa hog producers traveled to Japan and China last month, assessing two very different markets for pork exports from the United States.
Craig Christensen, a hog farmer from Ogden who is the National Pork Board president, and Gene Ver Steeg, an Inwood hog producer and member of the Iowa Pork Producers Association board, were on a trade mission financed by the National Pork Checkoff in cooperation with the U.S. Meat Export Federation.
