How concerned are you about a foreign animal disease outbreak entering the U.S. hog population?

Very much, it keeps me up at night.
Somewhat, it's always in the back of my mind.
A little, have confidence in U.S. pork industry to keep out.
Not really, too many other production, profitability concerns at the moment.
