There isn't much context, it is website on agriculture statistics. These are titles for directories.

neutral  liz askew: Hello, I am not disagreeing or agreeing. I know that "plantel" = staff, but would this be listed in such a way in a directory? Just wondered. I am not 100% sure about my version, despite an "agree" from gracie.

porcine stock and agricultural stock


Explanation:
"stock" is a general word that appears in terms such as "livestock" (ganado) and "breeding stock" (ganado para cría). It seems to fit the two RAE definitions for "plantel" below:

6. m. Arg. y Ur. Conjunto de animales seleccionados pertenecientes a un establecimiento ganadero.

8. m. Ur. Conjunto de animales de buena raza destinados a la obtención de reproductores. Plantel de ganado vacuno, de gallinas, de perros

I agreed with Liz' answer which is very sensible, but then looked for an alternative to "agricultural farms" that makes more sense, because all farms are agricultural unless one is talking about a different type of farm such as a wind farm (parque eólico) or solar farm (finca solar).
