Kansas Pork Association sponsored the Most Innovative Pork Product award at the 2022 Kansas Meat Processors Association Convention and Trade Show. Timber Creek Meats won the award for their “Sausage Stuffed Pork Chop“, pictured on the right is owner, Eric Steeves.

KMPA‘s Convention and Trade Show is an opportunity for members in the same line of work who are experiencing obstacles and looking for the same solutions. A popular event is the Cured Product Show. Past award winners and experts from Kansas State University evaluate products to win best of Show and more.

A large group of supplier members were on hand to introduce processors to the latest techniques and equipment in the meat processing industry, and help find those solutions they are seeking.

Friday included the Midwest Processed/Cured Meat Workshop hosted by Dr. Boyle and KSU while Saturday had a line up of member’s plants video tours and educational sessions. Not only was Kansas Pork Association a sponsor, but we also featured some goodies for trade show attendees to enjoy. Included in our booth were some pork cuts fact sheets, pig head stress balls, temperature magnets, meat thermometers, and pig-shaped cutting boards. We look forward to seeing everyone at the convention next year and are curious as to who will win the Most Innovative Pork Product, bring your best!
