WPA Celebrates Pork Month During October
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 10/06/2015

The Wisconsin Pork Association is joining swine producers from across the nation during October to celebrate National Pork Month. October was selected as the pork month because this is the time of the year when the most hogs are traditionally marketed.

"If you eat, you have a connection to a farmer every day," said WPA Assistant Program Director Mandy Masters. "October Pork Month is an opportunity to refresh the connection consumers have with farmers. Our farmers' mission is to produce safe, nutritious food in a responsible manner for families across the United States and around the world."

Throughout the month, Wisconsin pork producers will showcase their product to consumers across the state. Masters says consumers can be confident that the pork they eat was raised using these ethical principles.

The USDA says pork is the world's most widely eaten meat, representing 36 percent of all meat consumed. In terms of sales, boneless New York Chops accounted for more than $836 million, back ribs more than $674 million, bone-in chops more than $432 million, spareribs more than $352 million and boneless tenderloin more than $398 million.
