Why Do Consumers Believe HSUS and Not You?

Abstract

A similar collaborative outreach program is coordinated by the Ag United for South Dakota group, comprised of the South Dakota Pork Producers Council, South Dakota Cattleman's Association, South Dakota Corn Growers Association, South Dakota Farm Bureau, South Dakota Soybean Association, South Dakota Dairy Producers and South Dakota Poultry Industries Association. Ag United organizes "Mom's Day Out on the Farm" and "Farms After Five" bus tours. Producers and livestock veterinarians accompany urban dwellers to answer questions and share perspectives during farm visits.Another worthy outreach effort was unveiled this week with the formation of the Iowa Farm Animal Care Coalition (IFAC). This newest entity is designed to answer Iowans' questions about farm animal care and to providefarm animal care resources to help ensure all Iowa farm animals benefit from the latest science-based animal care standards. IFAC is a collaborative effort that includes farmers from the Iowa Farm Bureau, Iowa Pork Producers Association, Iowa State University Colleges of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture and Life Sciences and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.
