He discussed issues that significantly impact the future of the livestock industry in Arkansas and the nation, including animal ID, country of origin labeling (COOL), free trade agreements, and what we as independent animal producers/owners can do to affect the outcome of each. |

Members of Gubinatorial candidate for Lt. Governor, Jim Holt's campaign team. They were there as concerned individuals and as Arkansans, as well as with Mr. Holt's campaign. |
Guest speaker, Phil Wyrick, head of the Arkansas Livestock and Poultry Commission, was given time to speak at the end of the meeting. Many folks told us that they drove several hour's drive to hear what Mr. Wyrick had to say about the NAIS. We apologize for the poor quality of this picture, but it is the best one we ended up getting. |
