Pork producers and industry partners are invited to attend the 2023 Pork & Corn/Soy Expo Feb. 2 and 3 at the Kalahari Resort, Wisconsin Dells. During the Expo, Wisconsin Pork Association (WPA) will be hosting several programs designed to keep pork producers current on industry issues and provide networking opportunities for youth and pork industry members.
