House of Raeford CEO Bob Johnson receives Lifetime Achievement Award


From the Turkey Barn to the White House!

Valerie Sherman Director of Operations and Member Services NC Poultry

Last Friday, we were proud to host a group of turkey farmers from across the country in our office before they headed to the White House for The Great American Agriculture Celebration with President Trump, Secretary Rollins and the USDA recognizing American agriculture.

The event brought together farmers, ranchers and agriculture leaders from across the country to celebrate the strength of U.S. agriculture and the people who make it possible every day. It was a meaningful opportunity for turkey farmers to be part of that moment and to ensure our industry was represented.

Having members of our industry present at events like this reinforces the role turkey farmers play in feeding families across the country with a safe, nutritious and versatile protein. We were excited to spend time with this group in our office before the event and proud to see them represent the turkey industry at the White House!
