The beef and pork industry collectively provide over 100,000 jobs and a total economic activity of over $17 billion. The thought of losing this industry to an agroterrorism event should provide enough incentive for every producer across the state to implement a biosecurity plan on their operation. I What am I to expect from the meetings? • Come and learn about the importance of biosecurity on your livestock operation • Hands-on activities using a table top community setup • Learn what would happen locally in the event of an outbreak of a highly contagious animal disease, such as Foot and Mouth Disease 34 IPP/JANUARY 2007 An outbreak of foot-andmouth disease, which affects both cattle and swine, would represent about $65 billion worth of potential lost value to U.S. producers…the fact that a single determined individual or small group could bring all U.S. beef or pork exports to a halt, underscores the need for increased defense against this threat. There is no cost to attend the meeting! We encourage you to pre-register by calling 515-225-5431. To register online, go to www.iowafarmbureau.com.
