Episode notes

North Carolina Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler discusses resources designed to help farmers work with utility and service companies to prevent the spread of animal diseases and protect an industry that accounts for nearly three-quarters of North Carolina’s farm cash receipts. Troxler also weighs in on the continued threat of high pathogenic avian influenza and why strong biosecurity measures are critical not just for poultry, but for the state’s swine industry as well.
