"Plant managers continue to seek efficient ways to achieve the most productivity from their plants. This year's group of experts will provide the necessary tools to do just that by providing information about sustainability, ways to build a relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, information on yield and what it means to the bottom line, and a Salmonella/Campylobacter update," said program committee chairman Tom Wisvari, Cooper Farms.

Other topics include: "Further Processing: Marination 101"; "Breading; Controlling Foreign Material: Challenges in Rendering and Animal Feeds"; "New Innovation: The Impact of Leadership on Employee Retention"; "Animal Welfare: Combating the Public's Perception"; and "GFSI Audits: Root Cause Analysis."

The agenda was developed by a program committee of plant managers, food safety and quality assurance professionals. The committee consists of the following: Tracy Allen, Wayne Farms; Tom Wisvari (Chairman), Cooper Farms; Matthew Wooten, Wayne Farms; John Weeks, Mar-Jac Poultry; Jeff Davis, Perdue Farms; and Ginger Ford, Koch Foods.
