@LizClaman @NYCAudubon @audubon_ @BirdCentralPark Here’s a young bald eagle (on the James River in VA). Notice the difference in the beak. I’d say it’s a type of hawk.

@Ximena_Bustillo Speechless. Hope you’re ok!

Earlier this week, Smithfield donated $2 million to aid Ukrainian refugees fleeing to bordering countries - Poland, Romania, Hungary and Slovakia - where our European operations are located. Proud to work for a company that does so much good. This D.C. wallscape says it all.

After five great years with the National Pork Producers Council, I'm excited to join Smithfield Foods as vice president of corporate affairs on September 20. Thank you, @NPPC. #TeamPork

California regulations that will require hog farms to provide sows with more housing space starting in 2022 will likely pose logistical challenges for pork exports while increasing production costs and raising retail prices. https://t.co/SaqkKdId2W

Congressional lawmakers are spearheading two letters to the administration, urgently requesting the appeal of a recent federal district court ruling that, left unchallenged, will cause tremendous financial harm to American hog farmers. https://t.co/MMDoyzyG9l

"Just as producers are regaining their footing, a federal district court judge has issued a ruling that promises to concentrate more power with pork packing plant operators at the expense of smaller hog farmers. We need @USDA to appeal this decision." https://t.co/Qt6yUog8IV

@Ximena_Bustillo @politico Congrats! The National Pork Producers Council looks forward to working with you.

Among the things I miss about working in the office? Easy access to an ample supply of suitable pens. Currently using this one from our dentist.

“The USDA has put forward an open and transparent process to establish regulatory certainty surrounding a promising technology [gene-editing in livestock]. We are disappointed that the FDA continues to engage in delay tactics." -NPPC President AV Roth https://t.co/ft5SJf1VFx

🚨BREAKING NEWS: The @USTradeRep today announced it is suspending $817 million in trade preferences for Thailand under the GSP program due to insufficient progress in providing the U.S. with “equitable and reasonable market access” for pork products. https://t.co/qNpmxTRiBH

"The reality is losses today are closer to $50 per animal. Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, hog farmers were generally expecting a profitable year, with industry analysts forecasting earnings of roughly $10 per hog on average."
