Our inaugural Smoke Florida BBQ competition was a hit, with farm management specialist David Bilderback taking 1st place! Senior Vice Chancellor and Senior Vice President Carrie Castille graciously bestowed the award and helped out with a little sampling! We greatly appreciate the support of the Tennessee Pork Producers Association and all our friends who contributed to its success!
