Leadership Development The Minnesota Pork Board is actively investing in leadership development programs such as Activate and the Young Leaders in Agriculture Conference, signaling a need for partnerships that support training, mentorship and industry advocacy for emerging leaders. Sales opportunities exist in sponsored programs, event collaborations, and education-focused content partnerships.

Promo & Education With a core mission around research, education and promotion of pork, there is strong potential for marketing services, consumer education campaigns, and cross-promotional activities with suppliers and retailers seeking to align with pork industry initiatives and consumer confidence-building messaging.

Digital Engagement Active use of digital channels and tech stack (WordPress, Shopify, Google Ads, Tealium, Mailgun, AWS SES) indicates openness to enhanced digital marketing, e-commerce integration for merchandise or program registrations, and marketing automation partnerships to grow producer and consumer engagement.

Industry Funding As a farmer-funded organization supported by Pork Checkoff and USDA oversight, there is a pathway to collaborate on grant-funded projects, research sponsorships, and program funding opportunities that align with agricultural innovation and pork industry sustainability.

Growth & Outreach Recent expansions into leadership cohorts and national-level conferences suggest appetite for scalable programs and regional partnerships, presenting opportunities for consulting, event sponsorship, training curricula, and participant recruitment services targeting Minnesota pig farmers and allied stakeholders.
