Midwest Pork Conference Registration is Now Open
Indiana Pork will host the Midwest Pork Conference on Dec. 6 at the Boone County Fairgrounds in Lebanon, Ind., bringing together more than 300 independent pork producers, farm managers, contract growers and allied industry leaders to this one-day educational and networking event.
This event will take place from 8 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. ET. Attendees will take part in educational sessions covering a variety of topics from manure management and use of cover crops, US SHIP and disease response, farm legacy and culture, visas and immigrant labor, and an update on Prop 12.
The general session speakers for this year's event include Jayson Lusk, department head of Purdue University's Department of Agricultural Economics; Steve Meyer, lead economist for Partners for Production Agriculture; and Michael Formica, chief legal strategist for the National Pork Producers Council.

In addition, the event includes a tradeshow and multiple opportunities to network with other pork industry enthusiasts. The cost to attend is $70, however, if guests register before Nov. 18, there is a $15 savings. View a full agenda and register here.
