On April 16th, the Oklahoma Pork Council joined the agricultural community at the State Capitol to celebrate Oklahoma Ag Day in grand fashion. This officially proclaimed special day was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the importance of agriculture in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma Pork's double-booth in the 2nd floor Capitol Rotunda served as a popular hub for sharing charcuterie samples, distributing fun pork swag, and providing valuable industry information to legislators, staff, and the public. For the past few years, the Oklahoma Pork booth has been recognized as a standout booth of Oklahoma Ag Day. We are always looking for ways to make pork memorable so this year our board president Tom Layne suggested incorporating chicharrons into our pork offering. This unique pork addition was incredibly well-received and added an exciting talking point to our booth.

Plus, Oklahoma Pork representatives attending Oklahoma Ag Day had the opportunity to have several special meetings with individuals including Governor Kevin Stitt, House Ag Chairman Dell Kerbs in his office and Senate Ag Chairman Chris Kidd between votes.

We extend our gratitude to the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry team for their leadership in hosting Oklahoma Ag Day at the Capitol!
