The 2025 edition of the Ohio Pork Congress promises to be bigger and better than ever during its two-day run at Veterans Memorial Civic and Convention Center in Lima, Ohio, Feb. 4-5. Featuring in-depth presentations and discussions on swine health, economics, employee management, product innovation, and more, the Eastern Hog Belt’s largest pork-specific trade show brings it all together under one roof for producers and allied industry. “I strongly encourage anyone involved in the pork industry to attend the Ohio Pork Congress,” said Nathan Schroeder, Ohio Pork Council president and producer from Putnam County. “It’s truly the best opportunity to learn what’s going on in our industry from top experts, to provide essential training to farm employees, and of course, to see what’s new on the trade show floor.

Don’t Discount the Power of Pork Industry Relationships in DC

The decisions leaders make in Washington, DC, and state capitals all around the country impact our way of life every day in so many different ways. As the 119th Congress officially embarks on a new session, it’s also the beginning of a lot of relationship building for many National Pork Producers Council staff members. A Voice for Pork Producers “Everybody pays attention to the new president as they should, but you’re also getting all these new folks in Congress,” says Josh Scramlin, regional director of producer services for NPPC. “On Jan. 3, 63 new members were welcomed to the House of Representatives. If there are 435 members in the House, and 63 of them are brand new, that’s a large percentage of folks our team in Washington, DC, are trying to meet. There are also 100 U.S. senators, and 12 of those senators are new as well.” Not only will NPPC staff be working with the pre-existing relationships they already have, but Scramlin says they will also be identifying new relationships

World Organisation for Animal Health Reports Recurrence of Foot-and-Mouth Disease in Germany

The World Organisation for Animal Health’s World Animal Health Information System has reported  (1/10/2025)  that a case of foot-and-mouth disease has been confirmed in Germany, the first in nearly 40 years. See the WOAH posting here.

Local authorities are investigating how the animals became infected, but there are no plans for measures at the federal or international level, the spokesperson added,” wrote Reuters. USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service information on FMD can be found here. The USDA APHIS site reads, “Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a severe, fast-spreading viral disease

Three legs supporting smoking hot feeder pig market

An old adage says, “Where there's smoke, there's fire.” Fire needs fuel, oxygen and an ignition source. These three are often referred to as the fire triangle. If any one of these components is missing, a fire cannot start or continue to burn. The feeder pig market is smoking hot right now, and it has a triangle too. Its three components are expected market hog profit, changes in the U.S. pig crop and changes in Canadian feeder pig imports. Feeder pig prices up double or more Prices for early weaned 10-12 pound pigs ended 2024 remarkably strong and carried that momentum into 2025. That’s according to USDA’s National Direct Feeder Pig Report. For the week ending Jan. 10, USDA reported the weighted average price at $82.37 per head on a cash basis (Figure 1) and $76.24 per head on a formula basis. The price ranges were $52.50 - $95 and $49.51 - $90, respectively. During the same week last year, the cash price was $35.43 and the formula price was $43.43 with ranges of $11 - $45 and $35.0
