Corporate hog farming bill could reshape Kansas industry
Tim Rose, longtime pork producer and former leader of state and national pork groups, argues Kansas should legalize corporate hog farming to halt job losses and grow the hog industry. He cites Seaboard’s Guymon plant, state market-share declines, and a path for low-cost producers, noting the bill lets counties opt out while allowing contract hog production.
