DES MOINES, Iowa – January 11, 2016 – The National Pork Board today introduced a pork industry crisis text news service, Pork Crisis Alert, which will immediately deliver essential information to U.S. pork producers in the event of a major industry-wide emergency.
“Every day, America’s pork producers are busy on their farms and may not always have immediate access to information that could impact their operation,” said Derrick Sleezer, National Pork Board president and a pig farmer from Cherokee, Iowa. “Disease outbreaks and other emergency situations can spread quickly, so America’s pig farmers need a news service to notify them immediately and enable them to take early action to safeguard their farms.”
