Dr. Jim Lowe: Pork vs Beef Markets | Ep. 144

Market demands change with every single generation. The types of products we want today will not be the type of products our kids or grandkids will want when they get older. With the current demands from consumers today, how can the pork industry better create an efficient future for itself tomorrow? In this episode, Dr. Greiner talks with Dr. Jim Lowe about similarities with the beef industry and the pork industry and how we as producers should be marketing our products to best help our retailers and consumers.
