Challenging year for pork producers

Challenging year for pork producers

An Iowa pork producer says this has been a challenging year financially.

Dean Meyer of Rock Rapids tells Brownfield market prices are down and input costs remain elevated.

“We had our highest feed price coming off last year, and interest rates, facility costs, energy costs, everything is higher. And then the pork price, we’re not getting that summer bump on the Board.”

Meyer serves as chair of the U.S.
