As part of the USPOULTRY Foundation’s continued efforts to support the recruitment and training of the brightest students and to promote careers in the poultry and egg industry, the National FFA Officer Candidates were invited to the 2023 International Poultry Expo (IPE), part of the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE). The opportunity for them to participate was made possible in part by an endowing Foundation gift from Tyson Foods.
“Our industry continues to evolve, and young talent brings fresh insights in addition to diverse mindsets. We need to continue encouraging their development and growth, while attracting the best young leaders to work in this industry,” said Chip Miller, SVP Live Production for Tyson Foods, and member of the USPOULTRY board of directors. “Tyson Foods’ culture includes investing in future leaders, and we are pleased to contribute to this effort.”
“USPOULTRY has been a supporter of FFA for many years. We are pleased to be able to provide these National Officer Candidates, our potential future leaders, the opportunity to experience the world’s largest annual trade show for the poultry and egg, meat and animal food industries,” remarked Mike Levengood, Perdue Farms, and USPOULTRY Foundation chairman.
