Pork Industry Leaders Share Urgent Messages at Fall Fly-in

From engaging speakers to "Baconfest" in the Great Hall of the Library of Congress, it was an exciting week for more than 100 pork producers from around the country who gathered for the the National Pork Producers Council’s (NPPC) Spring Legislative Action Conference (LAC) on September 13-14 in Washington, D.C. 
 
"Having you here in Washington, speaking up for our industry, is critical to having lawmakers understand that decisions they make in Washington affect how we can continue to provide safe, nutritious food to American families and consumers worldwide," NPPC President Scott Hays said at the event.

Video: Manure to Millions: 50 Yards of Concrete in One Day

50 yards of concrete went down at the Manure Seperation building today. Forms set, rebar tied, gravel packed, and the trucks running one after another until the pad is poured and the crew is finishing it flat.
