PigCHAMP Continues to Lead Swine Production Innovation

May 29, 2014

Cloud-Based Solutions to be featured at World Pork Expo Exhibit

As anyone who works in the swine industry knows, pork production is part of a sophisticated process in the food industry. Those who are not part of today’s agriculture industry may have quaint views of how a pig farm is run. They might be shocked to learn that cloud-based solutions may be part of today’s modern barn. PigCHAMP Online is the leader in offering solutions that combine ease of cloud use with the power of complex and comprehensive software.

“Many modern swine farmers like the idea of cloud based solutions,” explains PigCHAMP general Manager, Bob Brcka. Until recently, many of these online solutions provided very limited functionality, and did not allow for complex data entry and report analysis. “Many of our customers told us that they liked the flexibility and advantages of a cloud-base system, but were anxious to have more robust functionality. PigCHAMP Online now enables swine farmers to access the world’s most powerful pork production software from anywhere there is an internet connection.”

PigCHAMP Online will be a key component of the PigCHAMP exhibit at World Pork Expo, June 4 to 6, 2014, in Des Moines, Iowa. “We are expecting keen interest in our online offering at the show,” Brcka explains. World Pork Expo will feature more than 375 trade show exhibits, and welcome nearly 20,000 attendees. “The Show provides us with an excellent opportunity to expose our solution to a large swine audience, not just in North America, but to International audiences as well.”

PigCHAMP sells its software to pork production barns in a number of countries, including Latin American countries such as Brazil, Columbia, Mexico, and Spain, as well as countries such as Russia, South Africa, Thailand, and China. It says it has already booked appointments with a number of international clients during the show to discuss its PigCHAMP Online solution.

PigCHAMP Online provides swine farmers with the PigCHAMP program, hosted on a secure, remote facility that enables swine farmers to easily access the program, to enter data and run reports. The online solution provides all of the unique PigCHAMP software functions, such report drill downs and other types of data analysis.

Based in Ames, Iowa, PigCHAMP inc. is the leading information technology supplier to the global pork industry and is relied upon by producers, veterinarians, and management consultants. The powerful and easy to use suite of tools gives PigCHAMP software customers the clearest vision of their operations, from swine data collection, to management and interpretation tools.

PigCHAMP is part of the Farms.com group of companies. Farms.com Ltd. is a leading provider of innovative news information products and services for the global agriculture and food industries.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
