The mission of Premium Pork: "To encourage profit and opportunity for America’s pork industry."

 Producers Livestock Marketing Association (PLMA) began marketing hogs almost 70 years ago beginning in the Omaha, Nebraska, Sioux City, Iowa, and St. Joseph, Missouri Stockyards.

 By the mid 1980’s as cash markets began to dwindle, Producers introduced direct marketing off farm into packing plants. Producers also added a Credit Corporation and began offering livestock financing; and also added our Commodities Division and began offering futures contracts and market hedging products.

 In 1994 Producers introduced it’s Premium Pork program. This program was designed to assist pork producers in group marketing high quality hogs selectively to the ‘right’ processors who could maximize the value of these specific pigs in the meat market.

 In 2000 Producers formed relationships with a number of producer groups and processors. Today PLMA works with a number of entities maximizing the value of ISO-wean pigs, feeder pigs and butcher hogs in the marketplace through the Premium Pork program. Our livestock credit portfolio exceeds $60 million and we have thousands of pigs hedged.
