The National Pork Producers Council and National Pork Board presented former Minnesota Pork Producers Council Executive Director Dave Preisler with the Paulson-Whitmore Award for Outstanding Pork Industry Leadership. Preisler said it is humbling to receive this honor. ” A lot of folks want to talk about the content of your career, your resume so to speak, but it’s all about the people,” Preisler told RRFN. “That’s what I spent my time talking about and the gratitude towards those that helped me along the way and also that I had the opportunity and pleasure to serve.” Preisler led the Minnesota Pork Producers Association for 28 years. He is a Mahnomen, Minnesota native and graduated from North Dakota State University. Preisler retired from Minnesota Pork in 2022. The award was presented at the National Pork Forum in Orlando.
