These funds can be extremely important to the success of industry-changing businesses like ours. We're not looking for handouts, but rather a hand up to develop businesses that offer real, sustainable, and long-term solutions to the problems facing agriculture today. We hope you agree and support these initiatives. There are many who want to see producers succeed. In summary, I want to emphasize there is enough evidence to support the fact that commodity suppliers can ONLY compete on price.
Producers can no longer produce their way to profits.
If they raise more, they won't have more. To revolutionize the industry meant we had to revolutionize our thinking. By combining and unifying our resources under one banner designed for and by producers, we can successfully move up the food marketing chain to access the profits generated by value. And when we do that, we will have reinvented the future for hog farmers who want to compete and profit in the meat business as shareholders in Pork America. We aren't out to FIX the pork industry for producers.
