Industry Outlook Panel (Daniel Tubbs, Additional Speakers to be confirmed.)

That's why a panel hosted by industry experts on some of the most relevant topics is a valuable opportunity for any producer. Attendees can expect to gain valuable insights and practical advice on a range of topics including Labor, Proposition 12, and more.

Niche Producer Panel (Dr. Gregg Rentfrow, University of Kentucky; Dr. Luiz & Dr. Smoot, Kentucky Association of Meat Processors; DeAnne Elmore, Kentucky Department of Agriculture)

  • Kentucky is a state rich in agricultural diversity, with a wide range of farms and swine production styles.
