SASKATOON – How do I market my bung caps in Thailand? Where do I get information on NAFTA and will that agreement affect my bean sales to Mexico? When I send my elk antlers to Korea, are they a food or a drug product and who inspects them? What feed formula can I use to maximize protein use in my cattle herd?
