Cl2-Lancastw Farming, Saturday, May 16, 1992 CHICAGO. 111. David A. Reinecker, York Springs, has become the first Pennsylvanian elected as an officer of the Nation al Live Stock and Meat Board’s Pork Industry Group. During its annual meeting here recently, pork producers named Reinecker as its vice chairman. In this role, Reinecker will be a vital part in the poik industry’s national producer checkoff prog ram, including chairman of the Pork Industry Group’s Budget Committee and a member of its Executive Committee. Specifically, he will guide the industry’s consumer information, school education, meat science, human nutrition research and pro duct technology research, areas the pork industry depends on the Meat Board’s Pork Industry Group to conduct. Reinecker, a state pork industry leader, was named as the Pork Industry Group’s Pennsylvania director in 1991. He served as vice chairman of the Education Com mittee last year. “We’ve known for some time that physicians have to become better educated about nutrition in general and pork’s leaner pro ducts. We’re taking aggressive tactics to accomplish this goal. Another high priority is education of this country’s youth, who have very little understanding of agri culture and are vulnerable to mis information,” Reinecker said. What’s ahead for the pork industry? Reinecker is optimistic though with a realization of the PARMAK HIGHWAY WARNING LIGHT MODEL iso HWL Save your PROPERTY...or your LIFE!

Reinecker mountains still to climb. “We have to constantly assure the consumer that pork is a product wcrthy of their trust something that is of high quality, healthful and wholesome. And, we can take nothing for granted. The consumer does not owe it to us as pork pro ducers to buy ourproducts. Rather, we owe consumers the products they want to buy,” Reinecker said. As a national leader, one of Reinecker’s goals is to help the industry unite with its allies, such as packers and processors and other meat industry segments. “There are times when pork is defi nitely competing for the consum er’s palate and pocketbook with SALES AND SERVICE PEQUEA BATTERIES 103 B N.

On the other hand, there arc issues that demand a united front for the benefit of the meat industry and agriculture.” This is one reason Reinecker became involved in the Pork Industry Group of the Meat Board. “The Meat Board is the only for um existing for the pork producer to link with the other farm-to market segments, such as other livestock producers, packers, pro cessors. and food marketers.
