Swine industry is 'critical'

WORTHINGTON — More than $29 million dollars. That’s the estimated loss in equity in the swine industry in 2009 within Nobles County alone, according to James Dick of the Fairmont Veterinary Clinic, a featured speaker Thursday afternoon during the first day of the sixth annual Regional Bioscience Conference. Statewide, the corresponding figure balloons to $540 million in lost equity, he added.
