Oklahoma's voting delegates have spent the last three days representing our state at the 2025 National Pork Industry Forum in Orlando, Florida. Pork Forum serves as the annual business meeting for members of the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) and the National Pork Board (NPB).

Since Pork Forum includes business for both national organizations, each state has two sets of voting delegates - one set for Pork Checkoff-related business through the Pork Act and one set for public policy-related business through NPPC. This year's Oklahoma Pork Act delegates are Joe Locke, Tom Layne, and Hannah Trujillo. Our NPPC delegates for 2025 include Roy Cansler, Cristina Carmona, Travis Vaughan, Joe Locke, and Hannah Trujillo. These six delegates (two of which are serving in dual roles) represented our state's pork industry by voting on a variety of policy resolutions and the election of candidates to both the National Pork Board and the National Pork Producers Council Board of Directors. Additionally, Oklahoma Pork's executive director Kylee Deniz did a phenomenal job explaining the issues facing Oklahoma’s pork industry.

Thank you to our six delegates who spent their week considering proposals and candidates to move the U.S. pork industry forward.
