Stewartville, Minnesota pig farmer Myrna Welter spends much of her time advocating on behalf of pork producers throughout the state. That work was recognized at the Minnesota Pork Congress with her recognition as the Pork Promoter of the Year. “I just like to be out and about in the community sharing our pork story and I like to also share it in unique ways with consumers and people in our community.” Welter takes her message to the classroom and the grocery store. “If anyone has any questions about cooking pork, we’re there to help answer them,” said Werner. “The last time we were at a grocery store, we did a promotion called Show Me the Pork and we had recipes available for everyone to try new and different ways of cooking pork.”
