Pork Producers Take On DC for Spring Fly-in

More than 100 pork producers from around the country attended National Pork Producers Council’s (NPPC) Spring Legislative Action Conference (LAC) 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.
