WHAT IS THE MINNESOTA PORK BOARD

The Minnesota Pork Board administers programs relating to pork promotion, consumer and producer education and swine research on behalf of the 4,400 Minnesota pork producing families who pay into the mandatory Pork Checkoff.

WHAT IS PORK CHECKOFF FUNDING?

U.S. pork producers and importers pay 40 cents per $100 of value when pigs are sold and when pigs or pork products are brought into the United States.

A percentage of the annual Pork Checkoff collections return to state where the funding originated. Minnesota's return is 17 percent of the total amount collected in the state. An outside auditor annually reviews the spending of Minnesota's Pork Checkoff dollars to assure the money is used in accordance with federal law.

To learn more about the Pork Checkoff go to the
