Pork producers descend upon D.C. to discuss policy priorities

More than 100 pork producers from around the country attended National Pork Producers Council's Spring Legislative Action Conference on March 29-30 in Washington, D.C. The biannual fly-in allows U.S. pork producers to meet with their Members of Congress to discuss the industry's policy priorities and how decisions affect their farms and families. 

The Spring 2023 LAC was sponsored by Merck Animal Health, a research-driven company that develops, manufactures and markets a broad range of veterinary medicines and services. 

During the two-day event, speakers included NPPC President Scott Hays, House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Rep. Glenn "GT" Thompson (R-PA), Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) and NPPC subject matters experts.
