Pork Production in Iowa: An Industry at a Crossroads

Author

Abstract

In general, economic conditions have favored Iowa as a premier livestock-producing state, but at the same time, government policies have worked against Iowa's livestock-feeding industries. The authors trace Iowa's dilemma as it must decide whether to become self-sufficient in feed, or be one of the last states to serve as an export source.
