Did you ever wonder what’s the name of the number one hog-producing county in the country? Want to know what’s the leading pork seller on restaurant menus? Curious about the carbon footprint of the U.S. pork industry?

There are answers to these and many other pork questions in the new “Quick Facts: The Pork Industry at a Glance” book. This user-friendly, 118-page guide offers detailed, informative updates on everything from how pigs are raised today through the We Care initiative to a breakdown of the industry’s latest pork stats.
