Published Tuesday, November 10, 2009 at 05:07 AM
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has announced five appointments to the 15-member National Pork Board. The five were chosen from among eight pork producers nominated by the National Pork Producers Delegate Body during its meeting in Dallas, Texas, last March.

The newly appointed Board members are: Bradley Greenway of Mitchell, South Dakota; Dale Norton of Bronson, Michigan; and Lisa Colby of Newbury, Massachusetts. The reappointed Board members are: Eugene Nemechek of Springdale, Arkansas; and Randall Brown of Nevada, Ohio.

Established under the Pork Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Act of 1985, the Board develops budgets and awards contracts to carry out a coordinated program designed to strengthen the position of pork in the marketplace. USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service oversees the operation of the Board.
