WHO SHOULD ATTEND

The Farrowing School is appropriate for owner/opera-tors, farm employees or managers or high school stu-dents who have a swine project—anyone who farrows as part of their operation.

The two day seminar is great for those with a limited knowledge of pork production as well as for the veteran producer who would like a review of the basics.
