Winning not the only benefit of competing in cured meat competitions
Processors from across the country vie for top honors at the ACMC. Winning gives you bragging rights and reinforces that you are doing an exceptional job. Winners proudly display their plaques and trophies and include news about their winning products in their advertising. It is great to win; however, competing in itself can be fun and very educational.
After the competition is completed, people are allowed to view all the products. It is a unique opportunity to walk into a room with several hundred different products on display and be able to compare them with each other and with your products.
