In collaboration with the Western Sustainable Agricultural Research and Education Grant Opportunity, the Northern Marianas College Cooperative Research, Extension, and Education Service will be hosting two workshops aimed at helping farmers and ranchers in the areas of hog production and pest management.
The workshop on Effective Swine Husbandry Management Practices in the Marianas will educate participants about taking care of piglets, sows, and boars in different production stages that will maximize profits to producers. The Integrated Pest Management Workshop, which will be incorporated with the workshop on hog production, will enable participants to learn about mitigation methods in relation to pest in crops.
