The associations were formed by pork producers who faced profitability challenges and knew that they could best address these common issues by working together and jointly finding sources of funding. The organization traces its roots to the mid- 1950s when a group of producers, concerned about the future growth and profitability of the pork industry, organized the National Swine Growers Council (NSGC). In 1965, this group evolved into the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC), as it took the first steps toward creating the meat-type pig needed to produce pork products consumers desired. “Moline 90” In May 1966, about 90 pork producers from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wisconsin met in Moline, Ill. This group, which came to be known as the “Moline 90”, gathered to establish a voluntary checkoff. The group agreed to hire the first full-time executive secretary for the council and to raise, through contributions, a “Get Ready Fund” of $40,000. A bank note was passed around and eight pork producers signed it, obligating each of them to pay if the “Get Ready Fund” was not raised. The note was never needed. With some funds and staff, NPPC began moving toward development of the meat-type hog that more health-conscious consumers were beginning to demand. Realizing that promotion would create more pork sales, producer leaders sought U.S. Congressional action that would permit a market deduction to fund product promotion. They succeeded in getting amendments to the Packers and Stockyards Act that opened the way for a voluntary checkoff system. Reflecting the forward-thinking of producers back then, as well as today, this represented the first voluntary checkoff program. “Nickels for Profits” In 1967, after months of organizing at the county and state levels, NPPC started the voluntary “Nickels for Profit” checkoff in six counties in Iowa and Illinois. The first check received was for $4.90. By 1968, producer enthusiasm had spread, with 16 states organized and the nickel checkoff program launched nationwide. By 1970, NPPC membership rose to 40,000 producers with a $1 million operating budget. In response to members’ increasing needs for promotion and research, the checkoff increased over the years from a nickel, to a dime, to 20 cents, then to 0.3 percent of each hog’s market value.
