The Ohio Pork Congress continues its annual tradition of delivering timely, relevant and useful information for pork producers and everyone working in today’s pork industry when it takes place on Feb. 6-7, 2024, at the Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center in Lima, Ohio.

OPC attendees will not want to miss the presentation by Dr. Steve Meyer, lead economist with Partners for Production Agriculture. He will offer his keen insights into what the rest of 2024 has in store in terms of cost of production, profitability, exports, and more. Adding even more context on what the coming year will bring will be the National Pork Board’s Neal Hull and Jose de Jesus as they explain what checkoff-funded strategies are underway to boost domestic pork demand.

The speaker line-up at the Ohio Pork Congress, the largest pork-specific trade show in the Eastern Hog Belt, makes everyone’s visit worthwhile. This includes recognition of industry leaders and a special time for everyone to support the Friends of Pork PAC.
