Do you have an exceptional pig farmer/client who represents the best in pig farming by doing what’s right for animal health and welfare, food safety and the environment? [Source: NPB, 1/25/2017]
If you do, please nominate them today to apply for the Pork Checkoff’s 2017 America’s Pig Farmer of the Year award. You can quickly submit your nominations by clicking americaspigfarmer. Or, you can email your recommendations to Sheila Dressman at Sheila@eidsonandpartners.com. The deadline for nominations is March 12, 2017.
Now in its third year, the America’s Pig Farmer of the Year program recognizes a U.S. pork producer who excels at raising pigs by living the pork industry’s We CareSM Ethical Principles, and who can best share his or her story of farming with the American public.
Now more than ever, the pork industry needs strong voices that represent how pig farmers, in partnership with their veterinarian, are getting it right. The future of our industry depends on it.
