Indiana swine industry grows

Indiana's growing swine industry brings more than $3B annually to the state economy, according to Tim Belstra, president of Belstra Milling Co. An Iowa study showed that a new swine facility directly creates 21 new jobs and indirectly creates 19 jobs, he said.
According to
Indiana Pork data listed in The Times of Northwest Indiana, Indiana is the fifth largest pork-producer in the country, and the pork sector is the largest consumer of Indiana grain. About 3,000 producers are involved in Indiana’s pork industry.
