The annual Pork Management Conference is slated to take place in New Orleans, June 16-19. The Pork Checkoff hosts the event that brings together experts from across the industry to speak on current business trends and challenges.

“The Pork Management Conference combines the latest production trends and business information with opportunities for pork producers to interact with knowledgeable financial professionals dedicated to helping them succeed,” said James Coates, chair of the Checkoff’s Producer and State Services Committee and a pork producer from Franklin, Ky. “Each attendee will come away from this three-day conference armed with tools they can use immediately to improve their farm.”

In addition to the general sessions open to all attendees on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings, two concurrent sessions are planned for Thursday. Topics include capital development and diversification opportunities and experiences, generational transfer of farm ownership/leadership, audit overload panel, income and estate tax planning, surviving disasters on the farm, price discovery and mandatory price reporting.

Early bird registration is $395 per person through May 29 and rises to $435 after that. More information is available here.
