Joe Swedberg is Vice President of Legislative Affairs of Hormel Foods Corporation and currently chairman of the Minnesota Agri-Growth Council, the coordinators of the gala AgNite event held in the Twin Cities on the second night of the Republican National Convention.

Joe was also on hand earlier Tuesday during a potato-packing event held at Second Harvest Heartland to highlight the work that agribusiness does to aid the hungry in Minnesota, the nation and the world. “As a company we support Second Harvest and are the primary protein sponsors for Second Harvest,” Joe said. He says that Hormel was one of the primary sponsors for AgNite because “Minnesota plays such an important role in agriculture and we’re one of the larger agriculture-oriented businesses in the state.”
