Max Armstrong has maybe grown a little callused after reading so many organization news releases. But one last week from the National Pork Producers Council offered something he could agree with: key issues for pork industry. Terry Wolters, the organization president, said that reasonable public policy that ensures animals are healthy, and offers a sustainable market, among other things, is what the future of pork industry needs.

Max Armstrong's Farm Progress America is a daily look at key issues in agriculture. It is produced and presented by Max Armstrong, veteran farm broadcaster and host of This Week in Agribusiness.
