Unfortunately the threat is real on several fronts, such as African Swine Fever. A new service from the National Pork Board will allow you to receive critical information instantly in the case of a pork industry crisis. It's a text alert system, and Cindy Cunningham says you can sign up for these alerts in less than 20 seconds. Simply text ’PorkCrisis’ to 97296 and answer the resulting question confirming your intent to sign up. She compares it to the service you may use to receive notifications from your son or daughter's school district. She also says they have more farm specific tools that you can use to help plan for how you will handle a disaster, and you can find them here. By the way they will test that text system on Wednesday, April 24th.
