Adam Dohrman, chairman of the Missouri Pork Association (MPA), presented the Outstanding Legislator Award to Senator Rusty Black (R-12th District) during the 2025 Missouri Pork Expo on February 18. Senator Black was chosen for his outstanding support of the Missouri Pork Association, the Missouri pork industry and all of agriculture.
“Senator Black has long been an advocate for the pork industry and Missouri agriculture,” said Dohrman. “He brings practicality and common sense to the legislative process while advocating for Missouri’s #1 industry.”
Senator Black is a former public educator dedicating 33 years teaching Missouri kids agriculture. During Sen. Black’s political career, that same dedication has continued as a strong leader in recognizing and advancing agriculture, especially animal agriculture. Specifically, his recent efforts in securing funding for the new abattoir and meat science center at the University of Missouri will pay dividends to Missouri for years to come. Additionally, Sen. Black is an ardent supporter of youth leadership programs, which are so very important to preparing our next generation of kids.
Pork producers from across the state attended the 2025 Missouri Pork Expo held in Osage Beach, Missouri on February 18-19. Highlights included a trade show, educational sessions, and guest speakers.
