A strong year for Iowa pork producers

Kevin Rasmussen is a farmer from Humboldt County Iowa who served as the Iowa Pork Producers Association President in 2022 and now serves on the board of directors. He says that 2022 was a year of smooth sailing.

Rasmussen says that a big focus in 2022 was helping to find funding for the Iowa State University veterinary diagnostics lab.

Rasmussen says that the IPPA and Iowa pork are in a good place because of the hard work of the board members.

Past president Kevin Rasmussen spoke with the IARN at the IPPA Pork Congress in Des Moines in late January.
