The KPA, working with the National Pork Board and other state associations, has created a video showcasing the pork industry. The Kansas version includes information about the industry's economic contribution to the state. The video is aimed at the lower grade school level children. The KPA has been furnishing copies of the video to teachers participating in Ag Days across the state. To receive a copy, contact the KPA office at 785-776-0442 or kpa@kspork.org.
