Expert: Farmers must take steps to protect from activists
Dairy Business Association
GREEN BAY – Hundreds of animal rights activist groups are influencing the way farmers do business around the globe. As these activists become even more organized and their tactics evolve, agriculture advocates are encouraging farmers to protect themselves from damaging consequences. Animal rights activists hope to bring an end to animal agriculture and take meat, poultry, dairy and eggs off our plates, said Hannah Thompson-Weeman, vice president of strategic engagement at Animal Agriculture Alliance. Most activists are not truly concerned with animal welfare. Their claims about seeking to improve the lives of farm animals are typically used to obfuscate their true intentions.

Iowa Pork Congress to be mostly virtual this year
The Iowa Pork Congress will be held this week but the pandemic is forcing a series of major changes from years past.
Iowa Pork Producers Association spokeswoman Dal Grooms says the first event is at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning in Des Moines.
“We are going to start the week off with our annual meeting but that will be the only in-person event that we have,” Grooms says. “Then we’ll have education sessions and those are all going to be one-hour virtual sessions. Of course, there’s not going to be any trade show available to producers, and we know how much they love that.”
