In 2026, the Oklahoma Pork Council will proudly celebrate 35 years serving our state's swine industry. One special element to our organization's history is how many leaders and friends of Oklahoma Pork have remained passionately involved with pork production throughout many of those years. Those folks, alongside many of us who have joined the fun along the way, have countless lessons and laughs that deserve to be remembered.

Our board and staff have already been dreaming on fun ways to celebrate the past and look to the future throughout 2026 when marking this special anniversary, but we need your help! Whether your favorite memory of Oklahoma's pork industry involves one show pig decades ago or proudly caring for thousands of pigs today - we would love to hear your perspective.

Starting with Pork Month right now and continuing throughout the coming months into the new year, we are collecting stories, photos, and coaching from our members and friends to commemorate all that has happened for Oklahoma pork production since 1991. Take a few moments to reflect on your own pork journey and the farms and friends who helped get you where you are today. Then, please feel free to send us a note, give us a call, or share those memories however you prefer as we begin the official celebrations of "35 Years of Oklahoma Pork" in 2026! Cheers to an impressive past and a bright future helping to feed the world!
