The National Pork Producers Council announced 10 recipients of the 2026 Lois Britt Memorial Pork Industry Scholarship as well as one Neil Dierks Scholarship winner, and four inaugural U.S. Pork Center of Excellence (USPCE) Swine Legacy Scholarship winners during the National Pork Industry Forum in Kansas City, Mo.
“These young leaders represent the very best of our industry’s future,” says Duane Stateler, outgoing NPPC president and Ohio pork producer. “At Forum each year, we are reminded the strength of U.S. pork is not only in our farms and businesses but in the people who are stepping up to serve it. Their work ethic, integrity, and commitment to agriculture give me great confidence in where we are headed. NPPC is proud to support them as they carry this industry forward.”
Sponsored in partnership with CME Group and the National Pork Industry Foundation (NPIF), the scholarships recognize exceptional students preparing for careers in the U.S. pork industry.
