China reopens to U.S. Pork
China Reopens to U.S. Pork
As of Friday China is officially accepting shipments of U.S. pork. Pork produced on or after May 1st can now be exported to the country. The U.S. and China agreed to reopen the Chinese market to U.S. imports in March after China closed its market to U.S. pork in April 2009 following the mislabeling of H1N1. National Pork Producers Council President Sam Carney says this is tremendous news for U.S. pork producers since China is one of our nation’s biggest markets. Carney says being able to ship pork there is extremely important to the U.S. pork industry.

Farmers need your patience!
Farmers are traveling from field to field to plant their crops to provide food for everyone along with their animals. Please take a deep breath and relax when you come upon a slow moving vehicle and wait for a clear opportunity to pass. With the need to farm more and more acres to cover the cost of equipment, some farmers will travel across the county to get to those fields. Please accept their rights on the road and watch out for their safety. Thanks
