It’s appointment time again for our U. S. Secretary of Agriculture, Mike Johanns. This time it’s 153 pork producers and 8 importers to the 2006 National Pork Producers Delegate Body. I’m not going to post them all here. If you really want to know who they are though you can see the full list by downloading the release here: USDA release.

Delegates meet annually to recommend the rate of assessment, determine the percentage of assessments that state associations will receive and nominate producers and importers to the 15-member National Pork Board.
