Wisconsin Ag Connection - March 09, 2010
A Grant County pork producer has been named president-elect of the National Pork Producers Association. Doug Wolf of Lancaster was elected to the post during the NPPC's annual business meeting last
week in Kansas City, Missouri.
Wolf is a partner in Wolf L & G Farms LLC, with his wife Kris and son Shannon. They run a 1,200-sow farrow-to-finish operation, which markets 24,000 hogs annually. The farm also includes a cow-calf
herd, feedlot and 1,200 crop acres on which corn, soybeans and alfalfa are raised.
"Doug has been a strong leader in the U.S. pork industry and brings that leadership and knowledge of pork industry issues to his new position as vice president of NPPC," said NPPC CEO Neil Dierks. "He
will be a valuable asset to U.S. pork producers."
Doug has served on the NPPC board of directors for the past four years. He has been involved with the Wisconsin Pork Association, the Grant County Pork Producers, the Wisconsin Farm Bureau and the
National Cattlemen's Beef Association.
Wolf is expected to assume the organization's presidency during next year's convention.
