We're #hiring a new Vice President Human Resources in Des Moines, Iowa. Apply today or share this post with your network.

In my role at National Pork Board , I have the privilege to see U.S. Pork products merchandised and consumed worldwide. Through our partnerships, USDA ag trade missions and U.S. Meat Export Federation , we learn what consumers from other countries value and that opens doors for how our products can meet those expectations. For example, some cuts or variety meats highly valued in other countries are not as sought after in the U.S. Understanding international consumer preferences creates opportunities to create value for global consumers and our producers. Thanks to our strategic partnerships and export strategy, we’re able to maximize and add value to the carcass. NPB president Al Wulfekuhle shares more about how the value of exports to U.S. pork producers is of immense value: https://lnkd.in/gScGRUSe This content is brought to you by the Pork Checkoff.

This National Pork Month, take a moment to thank the men and women who work to connect the farm to your fork. 🐽 🧑🌾 From the pig farmers who work tirelessly, to the spouses who support their hard work. 🚚 From the hired hands who keep operations running, to the truckers who safely transport pigs. 🥩 From the butchers who prepare quality meat cuts, to the grocers who stock your local store so you can feed your family. Thank you to the whole chain that connects the pork industry to our forks. 🍽️ #NationalPorkMonth #ThankAFarmer #PigFarming

As a long time member and past president of U.S. Animal Health Association (USAHA) I am a strong supporter of forums that allow for discussion of timely topics and science-based solutions to tackle emerging issues. Interactions with state, federal, academic and livestock industry stakeholders is critical to achieving shared goals across animal agriculture. It is also important collaboration for preventing disease and finding solutions to swine health challenges. That’s just one reason I was glad to attend the USAHA annual meeting alongside the National Pork Board swine health team, Heather Fowler and Marguerite Tan as we covered topics related to global animal health and trade, animal health emergency management, One Health and more. Healthy herds allow producers to be profitable while also supporting our international trade and export markets. Our involvement at USAHA supports collaboration and ensures shared goals with the national and global animal health community. This content is brought to you by the Pork Checkoff.

The term ‘sustainability’ is a bit like the 1980s country hit – “I was country when country wasn’t cool.” U.S. pork farmers have been sustainable for decades – before it was “cool” – as evidenced by life cycle analysis data that exhibits the reduction in land, water, energy and carbon per pound of pork. The pork industry’s sustainability goals and metrics, supported by on-farm data, further demonstrates U.S. pork farmers’ commitment to people, pigs and the planet. At National Pork Board , we’re celebrating National Pork Month by recognizing the many ways America’s pig farmers and those who support them build a bigger appetite for pork and a sustainable industry. This includes involvement in programs, such as Pork Cares Farm Impact reports, AgView, Secure Pork Supply and more, that use data to demonstrate progress and preparation. Data is our currency when it comes to protecting our freedom to operate and helping ensure the security, safety and sustainability of our industry for future generations. Today, the industry I knew as a child doesn’t exist where I grew up. These photos remind me of the rich history of pork production and the progress past generations made to get us where we are today. That history is why I get up each day ready to work on behalf of the U.S. pig farmer. Historically, October is the low point of the pork market, which also makes it the perfect time to refocus on sustaining pig producers across the country – the lifeblood of rural communities. If you’re a producer, sustainability in the industry is all six We Care Ethical Principles – our foundation, our guiding principles and our future. And if you’re a pork consumer, thank a farmer and grill a pork chop. This content is brought to you by the Pork Checkoff.

National Pork Month is an opportune time to reflect on pork as a nutritious, flavorful, and affordable protein. As a veterinarian, I’ve observed first-hand how hard pig farmers work to do the fundamental thing required for us all to enjoy pork – raise healthy pigs. Pig farmers balance a plethora of complex factors – many out of their control – when it comes to swine health. That’s why National Pork Board focuses on delivering resources, programs and research that addresses industry-level risks like foreign animal disease, traceability and endemic disease and equips producers to make informed decisions. This includes programs, services and projects, such as: Swine Health Information Center Ag View and swine traceability State-Level Emergency Response Exercises Secure Pork Supply Certified Swine Sample Collector training U.S. Swine Health Improvement Plan (US SHIP) Producers have an ongoing commitment to progress and swine health. And good health, animal nutrition and animal care are the bases required to build a bigger appetite for pork. This Pork Month and every month, I’m proud to work alongside the dedicated producers, veterinarians, and other swine production professionals to prevent disease and find solutions to swine health challenges that benefit people, pigs and the planet.

Did you know⁉️ More than 85% of the pigs marketed in the U.S. come from a farm with a current PQA Plus site status. We understand the importance of staying on top of the latest biosecurity practices not only to ensure your animals' health and wellbeing, but to ensure consumers are confident in the pork on their plate. That's why this National Pork Month we encourage every pig farmer to renew their PQA certification. 🩺🐖 Become PQA or TQA certified or renew your certification at https://bit.ly/4gZiGf3 #NationalPorkMonth #PQAPlus #PQA #TQA #Biosecurity #PigFarming
