Farmers have always been environmentalists. As our population grows, our food demand increases and land availability decreases. We use sustainable practices and technologies that allow us to grow more crops and raise more animals with less resources.

We believe in recycling, even when it comes to manure. We use our manure as fertilizer, which in turn helps grow our crops.

Over the past couple of decades, the carbon footprint to produce a pound of pork has dropped dramatically. This reflects improved feed efficiencies, better manure-management strategies, and efficient use of cropland.
