Imagine having a chance to walk through the World Pork Expo trade show with some of the most qualified U.S. pork industry experts in their respective fields.
National Hog Farmer assembled just such a pork industry "dream team" at the recent 1998 World Pork Expo in Des Moines, IA.
The National Hog Farmer new product review panel included: Lee Johnston, extension swine specialist at the University of Minnesota's West Central Experiment Station, Morris, MN; Richard Collins, DVM, swine veterinarian at Dixon Veterinary Hospital, Dixon, IL; Craig Christensen, a pork producer from Ogden, IA; and Steve Hoff, agricultural engineer at Iowa State University.
The panelists evaluated a list of more than 70 new products nominated by manufacturers and trade show exhibitors.
What follows is a list of the eight products the panelists thought pork producers would find most interesting. The products are listed in no particular order.
