OHIO PORK COUNCIL PRESIDENT

OPC Members and Friends of the Pork Industry,

My name is Nick Seger and I am currently serving in the role of President of the Ohio Pork Council Board of Directors. My family and I operate Seger Farm Inc. a farrow to finish swine operation an grain farm near Minister, Ohio.

As I enter my first year as President of the Ohio Pork Council, I would like to begin by thanking each and every person who has donated their time, money, and help to our organization. Without the many volunteers and supporters, the Ohio Pork Council has through the Virtual Field Trip program, the annual golf outing, the Ohio State Fair, and every event and activity in between, we would not be as successful as we are. Our mission at the Ohio Pork Council is to serve and benefit all Ohio pork producers, and we could not do so without the dedication and commitment from our Board of Directors, members, and staff.

Nick Seger President

Along with the many successes of the Ohio Pork Council throughout the year 2022, the Ohio pork industry has also had many big wins that deserve to be recognized as the year comes to a close. These “big wins” take shape in a variety of ways, including the continuous progress through the H2Ohio Program, the acquired funding for a new ADDL lab, the work that has been done to keep African Swine Fever (ASF) out of the United States, as well as the numerous legislative wins we have had. While it is great to celebrate these “big wins”, it is also important to continue making progress in each one of these areas, as these wins do not mean that the fight is over.

To kick off the new year, I would like to invite you to join us for the 2023 Ohio Pork Congress. Again, this year, the annual event will be held in Lima, Ohio on February 7th and 8th at the Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center. Join us for an opportunity for pork producers and business professionals to network, learn about industry issues, recognize industry leaders, and support OPC’s Friends of Pork PAC fund. The annual Ohio Pork Congress will feature a trade show, guest speakers that will engage guests in industry related topics, and so much more.

On behalf of the Ohio Pork Council and Ohio’s pork industry, I’d like to personally thank each of you for your continued support and commitment to advancing our industry. I look forward to working together in the new year and hope to see you at the 2023 Ohio Pork Congress.

Sincerely,

Nick Seger
