Developing Your Small Scale Swine Enterprise

Developing Your Small Scale Swine Enterprise is a free on-line webinar scheduled for Monday March 29, 2021 from 6- 8pm. Registration is required in order to access the link to the Zoom webinar. Visit https://tinyurl.com/LPWTSWINE to register by March 26th. 

Offered by the Livestock Program Work Team (LPWT) and Cornell Cooperative Extension, this webinar was designed for small-scale pig producers who are looking to expand their swine enterprise to become more efficient and sustainable in their production of pigs and the marketing of pork products. This webinar will introduce growers to the most common swine production systems, how to match your current resources to your goals, and we will review basic worksheets that can help farmers to plan for any growth or changes in the future. We will review farrow to finish, feeder to farrow, and feeder to finish operations. The goal of this course is to help you design a plan for the coming years to ensure that you are making the most of your current resources and abilities.
