Promoting Pork on National Agriculture Week

From breakfast-for-lunch to a build-your-own taco bar, the Oklahoma Pork Council sponsored three pork meals for state policymakers this week as an outreach opportunity reminding legislators about our versatile products. Oklahoma Pork Council’s Kylee Deniz also presented on our state's swine industry and our organization's work to the House Rural Caucus.

Happy National Agriculture Week to the hard-working Oklahomans throughout the pork supply chain! We will never stop celebrating Oklahoma pig farmers role in feeding the world delicious, nutritious and affordable animal protein.

One of the simplest ways the Oklahoma Pork Council advocates for our industry is providing flavorful pork meals to key audiences. This week, we had three separate opportunities to do just that for members of the state legislature. Appropriate during National Agriculture Week, Oklahoma Pork supplied more than 150 pork-focused meals for state representatives, state senators and staff throughout a busy week at the capitol. During Wednesday's House Rural Caucus meeting, Oklahoma Pork’s Kylee Deniz educated the audience on our the importance and impact of our industry while members enjoyed a tasty carnitas and tostada bar from Oklahoma Pork.
