Pork Masters Golf Outing
The 31st Annual Pork Masters Golf
Outing will be held Monday July 24, 2023.
Martin County lives high on the hog – we’re
the largest producer of pork in the State of
Minnesota. In 1992, a committee of Martin
County Pork Producers, agribusinesses, and
Fairmont Area Chamber of Commerce started
the Minnesota State Pork Masters Golf Outing.
Our goal is to provide a unique networking
event for producers and agribusinesses.
The money collected goes right back into the
community in the form of Ag scholarships,
Fluorescent Bulb Recycling
