The pork industry lost a great friend, and the Iowa Pork Industry Center (IPIC) lost a great advocate with the passing of Dr. John Mabry this past week. John began his ISU career in 2000 and, for more than a decade, used his genetics expertise and lifelong academic and industry connections to develop software and programs to benefit pork producers in Iowa and the U.S. The entire IPIC team, both past and present, is deeply grateful for his leadership and will dearly miss our friend and colleague.
