United States-Pig farmers face court.

UNITED STATES-PIG FARMERS FACE COURT.

Trial will be delayed for at least one person accused of abusing hogs at a Greene County farm in western Iowa.

Shelly Mauch was slated to stand trial on Thursday for animal cruelty, but County Attorney Nick Martino says it will be delayed until at least next month.

Mauch was one of six people arrested last October after an animal rights group released an undercover video that showed pigs being abused at a MowMar Farms.

Four others are scheduled for trial on Feb. 24, but Martino expects those will be delayed too.

Another person charged in the case, Shawn Lyons, pleaded guilty to animal cruelty earlier this month.

Minnesota-based MowMar has said that it no longer employs the worker.
