Pork
Producers Visit Washington for Spring 2007 Legislative Seminar
National
Pork Producers Council hosts a legislative action seminar
twice a year for pork producers from around the nation to
learn, discuss, and lobby agriculture legislation.
In March, 2007 dozens of pork producers from across the
country descended on Capitol Hill to lobby their senators
and representatives on issues of importance to the U.S. pork
industry. More than 70 producers were in Washington to
attend NPPC’s spring legislative action conference.
