University of Missouri Extension will host a free bilingual workshop aimed at strengthening sow production practices and supporting the state’s diverse swine workforce.

The Show Me Sow Production: Bilingual Workshop, organized by Mag Lopez, MU Extension field specialist in livestock, is 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. April 29 at the Missouri Pork Association, 6235 W. Cunningham Drive, Columbia. The event will include a live interpreter to assist Spanish-speaking participants.

Lopez said the workshop is designed to deliver practical, research based information that can be applied directly to commercial sow farms while helping bridge communication gaps within farm teams. For registration and more information, visit https://pears.io/events/mu/5901.
