Oklahoma Pork Council Honors 10 Industry Standouts

The Oklahoma Pork Council celebrated 35 years of modern pork production in Oklahoma at the 67th Oklahoma Pork Congress at the Sheraton Hotel in Downtown Oklahoma City. More than 150 pork producers and supporters came together for educational sessions and Oklahoma Pork’s annual business meeting to elect new leadership.

One highlight included celebrating 10 deserving award recipients for outstanding performance within Oklahoma’s pork industry or steadfast support of Oklahoma pig farmers. The 2026 Oklahoma Pork Council award winners are as follows:

Anita Wray

Anita Wray of Hitchcock, Okla., was named a 2026 Oklahoma Pork Council Excellence Award recipient. Even before joining The HANOR Company in 2001, Wray gained impressive experience across production agriculture. She now uses that extensive knowledge as a farm manager for HANOR, leading a team of nearly 30 employees to care for 10,000 sows. Widely respected for her leadership and dedication, Wray ensures the highest possible care is given to the animals on her farms while helping to develop her teammates as professionals. The Excellence Award is a peer-recommended accolade for pork producers who have made the daily work of raising pigs more than a job, but a true calling to take care of their animals and their teams.
