Risk Management Education

 During the late February National Pork Board Producers Services Committee meeting the employees from the service center communicated the huge volume of calls coming in for producers wanting assistance on forward pricing of both inputs and meat. To address this concern NPB staff have scheduled a series of Webinars for producers to participate in over the second half of May. That schedule is attached as well as a weblink giving detail.

Pork checkoff dollars will cover the cost of each Webinar. If you are not familiar with Webinars, they are events held at a scheduled time where participants use both the internet and their phone lines to participate. The internet connection allows participants to view the visuals that are provided, while the phone line serves as the audio. If you are interested in these webinars and unable to attend proceedings will be made available on CME's website following the completion of the events. Additionally, these webinars will be packaged on CD and made available at World Pork Expo.

Please notice that registration for these events is due this Friday, May 16 th. You may register at
