About Pork News & Views

Readers are encouraged to contact the writers with any questions or follow-up information requests using the telephone numbers and email addresses provided within the publication. General comments can be directed to the editor.

The Pork News & Views is printed and delivered to the Ontario pork industry through an agreement between the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs(OMAFRA), Better Pork magazine and Ontario Pork. The OMAFRA Swine Advisory Team determines the content, prepares the articles and edits the newsletter, just as they have since 1974. Better Pork prints and inserts the newsletter into their magazine and distributes it to Ontario pork producers and industry stakeholders. The magazine is distributed approximately the first of each of the following six months, February, April, June, August, October and December. Ontario Pork ensures that all registered Ontario pork producers and all individuals known to be involved with the pork industry are included in mailings of both publications.
