I’m not related to Brian from Nebraska in case you’re wondering.
National Pork Board Elects New Officers
Danita Rodibaugh, a pork producer from Rensselaer, Ind., was elected president of the National Pork Board at the board’s summer meeting in Dallas, Tex., July 21. Wayne Peugh, a producer from Edelstein, Ill., was elected vice president.
Rodibaugh, who had been vice president of the organization, succeeds Dave Culbertson, a producer from Geneseo, Ill., as the leader of the 15-member board, which administers the demand-building, research and consumer information programs supported by all producers through the Pork Checkoff. Culbertson completed his one-year term as president and remains on the board.
The board also seated new members Carol Hein of Spickard, Mo., and Brian Zimmerman of Beatrice, Neb. They replace Hugh Dorminy of Russellville, Ark., and Mike Bayes of Orient, Ohio, both of whom completed two three-year terms on the board and who were not eligible for reappointment. Hein and Zimmerman will serve three-year terms.
