The Student Perspective: Students Travel to World Pork Expo, Iowa State University

This trip to Iowa was eye opening and different. The first couple of days of the trip we went to the World Pork Expo. This was a nice experience as my colleagues and I went to different booths to speak to many companies about their products. I learned so much and even wanted to incorporate some of the products at our farm. One of the products I was interested in is a vaccine gun that vaccinated with air pressure and no needle. It’s also attached to a larger contraption that can make castration a lot easier for swine. My colleagues and I stopped to speak to a man named George Eanock, the CEO of Osborne Livestock Equipment and Pig Farming Supplies, and he gave us an enlightening conversation about life and simplified the way of thinking. He was very impressed with us but I was more impressed with him.
