U.S. Poultry & Egg Association educational programming for the 2010 International Poultry Expo, January 27-29, in Atlanta, will focus on modern animal agriculture and other key topics for the industry.
“The general session in 2010 will take a unique look at animal agriculture under attack,” said program chairman Jay Houchin.
“For several years now, the poultry industry, along with the other segments of animal agriculture, has been under attack from animal rights activists, environmental activists, and other interest groups. This program will describe the realities of modern agriculture and how we should respond to the tactics and strategies of the activist groups,” he said.
The program, scheduled for 9–11 a.m, January 28, will feature Dr. Wes Jamison, Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida, and Blake Hurst, vice president of the Missouri Farm Bureau Federation.
