Ractopamine Information

The Greene County Fair is requiring all Market Hogs be Ractopamine-free, in order to meet the requirements of packers who purchase hogs. More information will be available soon, but this is a great start! Breeders, exhibitors, feed suppliers – awareness and education are key! Please take some time to review.
