R.H. (Moe) Mohesky, president and chief executive officer of Clover M. Farm Inc., Sharpsburg, NC, received the Pork Industry Hall of Fame Award from the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) at Pork Forum.
During his 30 years with Cargill's Feed Division, Mohesky served in a variety of local, state and national leadership positions, including NPPC president. He is also a past president of the Carolina/Virginia Feed Industry Council and was chairman of the U.S. Meat Export Federation.
Before I get to this week’s topic, I must take a moment to congratulate National Hog Farmer and Weekly Preview Editor Dale Miller for his receiving the Pork Checkoff's 2010 Distinguished Service Award. The award is given annually to recognize the lifelong contribution of an outstanding leader to the pork industry.
