York Ag Sponsors the 2026 NAGA Convention
Feb 1, 2026
The North American Gamebird Association (NAGA) supports gamebird professionals through education, innovation, and industry collaboration
(York, Pa., Feb. 1, 2026) York Ag, a dynamic supplier of holistic ingredient solutions that optimize animal well-being, sponsors the 2026 North American Gamebird Association (NAGA) Convention, scheduled for Feb. 2–4 at the Hyatt Place Charleston/Historic District in Charleston, South Carolina.
Hosted annually by NAGA, the convention brings together hunting preserve operators, gamebird producers, and industry partners for three days of practical education, peer-to-peer connection, and forward-looking discussion. This year’s program focuses on the evolving needs of today’s gamebird operations, with sessions covering biosecurity, disease prevention, bird preparation for outdoor environments, preserve management, customer engagement, and return-on-investment decision-making.
Founded to protect, promote, and sustain the gamebird industry, the North American Gamebird Association supports its members through legislative advocacy, education on emerging trends, and efforts to preserve North America’s hunting heritage through increased public awareness.
“Supporting NAGA and its members aligns directly with our commitment to responsible animal production and well-being,” said Bill Achor, CEO of York Ag. “NAGA plays a vital role in uniting the gamebird community, and we’re proud to support an event that prioritizes education, stewardship, and responsible growth.”
Educational sessions at the 2026 convention will explore feed formulation strategies for breeders, considerations for indoor versus outdoor systems, ingredient selection in effective gamebird programs, HVAC options to reduce mortality, biosecurity planning, and emerging technologies—including how artificial intelligence may support business decision-making in gamebird operations.
York Ag’s sponsorship reflects its long-standing focus on supporting producers with practical, science-informed solutions. Guided by its belief that Everyone Deserves a Nutritious Meal®, the company offers gamebird growers a robust portfolio of botanical extracts and essential oils designed to support animal well-being and complement nutrition programs. These solutions are used to help address gut health, stress mitigation, respiratory support, and overall production environments in gamebird applications.
“As long-time members of NAGA, we value the opportunity to engage directly with preserve operators and producers who are shaping the future of the gamebird industry,” Achor said. “Events like this allow us to listen, learn, and collaborate in ways that truly move the industry forward.”
