A Glimpse of Pig Farming Life in Illinois

For National Pork Month, the Illinois Pork Producers developed four short videos covering a different perspective about the industry we all enjoy. Click here to watch!

Telling the story of pork production—the many types of production methods and the faces behind the farm—is a tall order for any communicator. That’s why the Illinois Pork Producers developed four short 3- to 4-minute videos for National Pork Month.

Each video covers a different perspective about the industry we all enjoy. From large production barns to show pig activities, the first video offers a look at how the Duewer, Olson and Burgener families each approach different aspects of pig care.

More than 625,000 lb. of pork has been donated to the Midwest Foodbank by farmers. Learn more from Mike Hoffman, Midwest Foodbank.

Pork is a delicious and healthy meat that can be prepared in a variety of ways.

“Without family running the farm, there’s nothing there.”
