The National Pork Producers Council Wednesday elected new officers and members to its board of directors at the National Pork Industry Forum. Jen Sorenson was introduced as the 2021-2022 NPPC president. For the past decade, Sorenson has been with Iowa Select Farms, an Iowa farming business that markets more than five million hogs per year. Sorenson takes over from Howard “AV” Roth, a hog farmer from Wisconsin, who becomes NPPC's immediate past president and chairman of the council's trade and nominating committees. Terry Wolters of Minnesota was elevated to president-elect. Scott Hays of Missouri was elected to serve as NPPC vice president, and Rob Brenneman of Iowa and Jeb Stevens of Indiana were elected as new members of the board. Additionally, delegates passed two resolutions, including one supporting CME Group's Pork Cutout contract, which was introduced in November 2020. Delegates also passed a resolution to delay an increase to the contribution rate of NPPC’s strategic investment program until July 2022.
