Tough Times For Hog And Cattle Industry

 

Provincial Ag Minister Bob Bjonerud was in Ontario last week for the Federal and Provincial Agriculture Minister Meetings.
He says plenty was discussed over the past few days, especially the state of the pork and cattle industries. As the hog and cattle industry are facing tough times but the Ag Minister left the impression that something is in the works.
Bjonerud adds he was concerned with Federal Ag Minister Gerry Ritz's announcement of a mandatory traceability program for livestock and poultry to be phased in by 2011.
