The FFA Pork Speaking Contest
Sponsored by MFA Incorporated
 

The Missouri Pork Association continues its support of Missouri's youth and FFA students by holding a speaking contest each year.  Students proceed through their area and district before reaching the state final, where the top student in each of Missouri's six FFA districts competes for the top prize. 

The state finals are held during the Missouri Pork Expo in Columbia around February every year.  MFA Incorporated sponsors the event.
