A representative with the pork industry says economic conditions have impacted its growth, but that may change soon.
Steve Martin with the Alliance for the Future of Agriculture in Nebraska says inflation continues to be an issue. “Probably about the last 8 to 9 months, prices have been tough. To build anything new, interest rates have gone up, supplies have gone up and cost have materials have gone up.”
He says feed costs and labor are also a factor.
