The Texas Pork Producers Council recently brought 12 students to visit USDA in Washington, D.C. as part of their Junior Ambassador Leadership Program. With efforts to continue their mission of advancing a sustainable and profitable pork industry, the association’s youth leadership program generates visible youth leaders for their industry and communities. While at USDA, the group learned more about USDA career opportunities and programs that support the pork industry, then brought that information and knowledge back to their state members and producers.
