Last month, board elections at the Oklahoma Pork Congress brought a brand new face to Oklahoma Pork's producer leadership team. After several years participating in Oklahoma Pork events, Tyson Foods' Hannah Trujillo decided to step out of her comfort zone and run for an open board seat representing the East District for the next three years. During our annual business meeting, her election became official, and we are excited to now have Hannah as part of Oklahoma Pork's incredible group of industry professionals who guide our organization.

Hannah Trujillo of Wetumka has spent nearly a decade working in Oklahoma’s pork industry. Her love for raising pigs began during a production internship in college and has continued to grow alongside her career. Hannah holds an associate’s degree from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College and a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from Oklahoma State University. She has gained experience working for both Seaboard Foods and Tyson Foods over the past 10 years, and she currently serves as the senior supervisor at Tyson’s genetic nucleus farm in Oklahoma. Hannah is proud to be part of the close-knit culture within pork production, and she believes there is no more fulfilling career than being a good steward of animals and land.

When asked what she would like to share with our state's pork producers as she embraces this new adventure, Hannah said, “I am honored and proud to represent Oklahoma farmers in my role on the board. In addition to having a love for our land and animals, farmers love the people around us. The opportunity to serve and give back in our communities with the Oklahoma Pork Council is something I am truly grateful for.”

If she is not on the farm, you can find Hannah spending quality time with her four children or long distance running. On behalf of Hannah's fellow board members and our Oklahoma Pork staff, we look forward to working with her throughout the next three years
