funds received to the
National Live Stock and
Meat Board for funding of
their pork programs. The
balance of the checkoff funds
from market hogs is then
shared by NPPC and the
state of origin.
The goal of both
organizations is to achieve
100 percent participation on
the part of pork producers
and the industry in funding
the total pork program.
Therefore, beginning
January 1, there will be only
one checkoff for market
hogs, and it will be 20 cents.
“Our aim,” said Bill
Buller, President of NPPC,
“is a united pork industry
with well defined goals and
delegated responsibilities,
and this coordinated
program brings us closer to
that goal than ever before ”
“We’ll make
