Aidan Connolly: Swine Tech Implementation | Ep. 141

As we have said before, swine farms need to continue to advance technologically if we want to be more profitable in the future. The main obstacle with this is finding ways with the current labor issues to implement these technological advancements. In this episode, Laura talks with Aidan Connolly about those obstacles, what the future holds for swine farms, and what we need to change to make that dream a reality.
