Illinois is fortunate to have several other pork processing plants that are considered assets to their community. IPPA has maintained a good relationship with these existing facilities and plans to continue to foster those partnerships. |
Illinois pork producers and the pork industry are committed to providing a safe, quality, affordable protein source, while caring for the environment, being a good neighbor, and adding economic development to our economy. |
IPPA supports new processing opportunities and what we believe those opportunities will bring to producers. We look forward to supporting Trim-Rite in their efforts to build a new state of the art facility here in Illinois. |
One of the major factors affecting pork producer profitability is the policy of the government as it impacts a producer's cost of doing business and their ability to effectively market their products. This award is a way for us to show our appreciation for the continued support that these legislators have demonstrated to Illinois pork producers. |
Representative Myers has been a true friend to the pork industry, has always been willing to listen to our concerns, and has been a leader on many important issues related to the pork industry. |
