An update on the sow housing issue–part 2

In part 1 of our interview with Dallas Hockman, director of industry affairs with the National Pork Producers Council, we talked about his discussions with those restaurant, grocery and food service chains that have called for the elimination of sow gestation stalls from their supply chains—and how some of them are now realizing that the conversion to stall-free pork production is not as simple as it sounds.  

In part 2 of our visit, we ask Hockman whether some of those companies might consider modifying or retracting their earlier statements on gestation stalls.  We also discuss consumer attitudes about sow housing and where it ranks on their list of food concerns.
