Don’t miss the annual meeting of the Colorado Pork Producers Council (CPPC) on Feb. 13 at 9 a.m. at Island Grove Regional Park (Gold Buckle Building) in Greeley, Colo. All pork producers, veterinarians, Extension agents, leaders who work with swine projects, students, educators, youth and other allied members and interested parties are invited to attend.
“The highlight of the meeting will be a presentation highlighting resources to help producers with their reproductive success on farms, as well as updates and challenges to the industry in coming year,” says Joyce Kelly, CPPC executive director.
The Colorado State Vets office, National Pork Board, National Pork Producers Council and U.S. Meat Export Federation will be updating industry leaders on challenges, successes and what’s ahead in the pork industry.
Youth and youth workers will be encouraged to come listen to a discussion from participants in the state pork production cost share program who will be presenting their project successes and challenges.
In addition, an election of members for the Colorado Pork Producers Council board of directors will be held. Anyone interested in running for the board who are current pork producers within the state of Colorado are asked to contact the CPPC office for information. The election of Pork Act Delegates for the 2024 Pork Forum will also take place during the annual meeting. Proof of payment of Checkoff fees is required to run and vote in this election, Kelly notes.
