Ohio Pork Congress 2023 ANOTHER SUCCESS IN LIMA!

The 2023 edition of the Ohio Pork Congress was better than ever as more than 500 producers and pork industry representatives attended the twoday event held in Lima, Ohio, on Feb. 7-8.

“With nearly 70 exhibitors and 14 educational sessions to choose from, attendees at this year’s pork congress truly had a one-stop shop to see what’s new firsthand for improving production and learning about important issues affecting Ohio’s pork industry,” said Nick Seger, Ohio Pork Council president. “It’s always such a great gathering point to reconnect and get energized for a successful year ahead.”

In addition to the many swine industry experts who spoke at this year’s congress, participants got to hear from the state’s brand-new Director of Agriculture, Brian Baldridge (shown at right), who took office only days before the event. Coming from a background as a seventh-generation farm family, he emphasized his understanding of the issues facing Ohio’s pork producers and his commitment to help them thrive as a vital part of the state’s $1.24B food and agriculture economy.

“We’re very pleased with the turnout at this year’s Ohio Pork Congress and we appreciate all of the support provided by our sponsors and everyone who participates to make the congress our state’s must-attend event each winter,” said Cheryl Day, executive vice president of Ohio Pork Council. “Be sure to mark your calendars for next year’s congress on Feb. 6-7 in Lima.”
