Meet Our Producers

Farmer Spotlight

We represent hard-working Americans all across our country who farm hogs. They take the responsibility of helping feed a nation and much of the world seriously. As vibrant members of their communities, they provide outsized contributions to the health of their local economies.

 

Throughout the supply chain, NPPC members protect the environment, abide by ethical principles in raising their animals, and safely deliver nutritious and affordable pork products. The tireless efforts of our investors who volunteer to serve on NPPC boards and committees are not just appreciated – they are essential. Their stories below will seem familiar to you – stories of commitment, responsibility, and a love of family and the industry.
