Celebrate lean, nutritious pork during National Pork Month

 

During National Pork Month, we celebrate the diverse and nutritious options that pork provides. Renowned for its versatility, pork can be prepared in various ways, fitting perfectly into both traditional and modern dishes. From air fryers to open grills, pork adapts to all cooking styles, proving itself as a kitchen staple.

Pork not only offers a wide range of flavors but also serves as a lean protein source, making it a valuable part of a balanced diet. Its ability to pair well with heart-healthy grains and vegetables makes it ideal for crafting wholesome meals. 

Pork cuts like the tenderloin and sirloin roast carry the American Heart Association’s Heart Checkmark, assuring low fat and sodium content.

The ethical raising and processing of pork are central to its celebration. In Wisconsin and beyond, pig farmers are dedicated to sustainable practices that enhance food safety and quality while reducing their environmental footprint. They follow the We Care® Ethical Principles, reflecting their commitment to ongoing improvement in all aspects of pork production.

This National Pork Month, enjoy the rich, flavorful options pork has to offer. Whether it’s part of a festive outdoor barbecue or a nutritious family dinner, pork is more than just food—it’s a testament to the dedication of American farmers who prioritize both quality and sustainability in their practices.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
