A24-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, July 7,2001 Pork Organizations Separate (Continued from Page A 1) program restructuring required. The Pork Board will have ap proximately two years to dem onstrate to producers and importers the value of the checkoff program to the indus try. USDA will conduct a survey by June 2003 to determine whether 15 percent of producers and importers are in favor of conducting a referendum to decide continuation of the checkoff program. If the required number of pro ducers and importers request a referendum, the referendum would then be held within one year. Restructuring The restructuring requires the National Pork Board to: • Employ its own manage ment and staff, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer • Manage separate contracts for promotion, research, and consumer information projects • Maintain separate office op erations from the NPPC • Maintain separate commu nications from the NPPC. National Pork Board On the National Pork Board Website, the organization posted a release which states that the board will continue to focus on checkoff-funded pro grams following the official sep aration from the NPPC, which had been its general contractor. The board is based in Des Moines, lowa. “The pork checkoff settle- FARM SUPPLY HEADQUARTERS 1000’S OF ITEMS FOR YOUR FARM NEEDS • Gates • Troughs • Fence • Storage Tanks • Feed • Cooling Fans • Light Bulbs • And Much More!

N O I Responsible For Typographical Errors 1~~-—* ment agreement announced Feb. 28 has resulted in signifi cant changes for the National Pork Board. We must continue to provide the checkoff-funded programs required by law but now will manage them directly rather than through a general contractor. “We now have our own loca tion, our own accounting system and our own staff,’’ explained John Kellogg, president of the National Pork Board and a pork producer from Yorkville, 111. “These are business decisions that took time. We still have de tails to work out, such as hiring a chief executive officer and a chief financial officer.’’ Plans to select a CEO are un derway, with a candidate ex pected to be identified in early September. Once the CEO is se lected, the hiring of a chief fi nancial officer will take place. Changes to separate accounting, staff and locations occurred on July 1. NPPC The NPPC, based in Wash ington, D.C., says it will concen trate on an ambitious legislative and regulatory agenda that in cludes trade policy, the environ ment, food safety, animal health, biosecurity issues, and the upcoming Farm Bill. “Pork producers continue to set policy for the NPPC, which now will focus on legislative and regulatory issues that impact the economic viability of pork pro ducers and the pork industry,” said NPPC President Barb Determan, a pork producer from Early, lowa. “Whether it’s securing re sources for conservation techni cal assistance in the Farm Bill or fighting for funding to upgrade the animal disease research fa cility at Ames, lowa, NPPC will be leading the charge. “Pork producers will continue to work aggressively with the U.S. government to open new markets for U.S. pork and thereby help ensure a brighter future for our producers,” Determan said. “Pork exports have doubled since 1994, but there are still many countries that deny U.S. pork imports through high tar iffs or non tariff barriers.” NPPC will continue working closely with its members the 44 state pork producer associa tions. During the last joint National Pork Industry Forum in March, delegates voted to create a task force to create the future struc ture of the National Pork Pro ducers Council. The Task Force has met and continues to move forward with the restructuring of NPPC as re quired by the delegates. MPPA The Michigan Pork Producers Association (MPPA) “sought an injunction in January contend ing that USDA had no legal au thority to conduct a binding referendum. Moreover, the USDA’s referendum was filled with irregularities and failed to apply consistent standards,” said Pete Blauwiekel, Fowler, Mich, pork producer.
