North Dakota Pork Council recently held their annual meeting. North Dakota Pork Council Executive Director Tamra Heins says the biggest update was the change in checkoff rate. “As of January 1st, the rate has gone down from 40 cents per hundred dollar value to 35 cents per hundred dollar value.” Heins says she isn’t worried about a tighter budget with the rate change, due to a higher pig population. “I think we’re going to be able to offset it because we have a few more pigs. A lot of other state associations are planning for a 12 percent budget reduction, but I think we’ll be just fine.”
