I am seriously amazed that I’ve been blogging on this business for more than a year now. I get reminders, like when I go to save an image and see last year’s in the folder. Like this story. And now we have a new winner this year:
Pork Delegates Appointed

Niche Pork Is Unique Pork
At first when I saw this announcement I wasn’t sure it would fit here on AgWired but then I saw that it contained a link to a website I haven’t ever seen before. It’s Niche Pork, The Other Opportunity. Actually I couldn’t tell you what niche pork was until surfing around on the website.

I am very behind in posting the winner of the 6th annual Mid-Atlantic Taste of Elegance contest that was held in Baltimore, MD. The winner was James Matthew Wolff, executive chef at Innovative Gourmet Caterers, Owings Mills, Md.
Pork Board Budget Approved
The National Pork Board has finalized its new budget. They’ve got an aggressive plan to spend just under $50 million. This means the continuation of pork racing and the approval of all state budgets. Producer approval is high too according to their annual survey: the survey showed that producer support of the Pork Checkoff and the programs the Checkoff supports is now 71 percent in favor and 19 percent opposed. In 2004, the support level was 61 percent in favor and 26 percent opposed.
Kinder, Friendlier Pork Board Website
It’s no longer porkboard.org, now it’s www.pork.org. This is the newly re-designed National Pork Board website. It’s truly a portal to a lot of pork stuff.
New Pork Board Officers
I’m not related to Brian from Nebraska in case you’re wondering.
