Is it a Five-Star Hotel? Or a Modern Pig Farm?

Next week, National Pork Board is taking Mythbusting to the next level. We're building on the success of last year's video series, "The Rural Dictionary" with Eric Stonestreet, by launching a new iteration of the campaign.

The new Mythbusting video creates a metaphor between the modern pig farm experience and a five-star resort hotel.

The goal: share accurate information about pig farming with at-risk, meat-reducing consumers.

Using a hidden camera, we recorded participants in a focus group who thought they were hearing ideas for a state-of-the-art hotel. In the end, they learn that all the amenities and features of the hotel happen every day on modern pig farms.

The integrated communications campaign will be shared by national, regional, local and trade media, as well as local promotions with state pork associations.

At the 2025 World Pork Expo, Dr. Gisele Ravagnani of Lanxess joined Rachel for an engaging booth interview and live demonstration. The session began with a quick overview of Lanxess products and branding, followed by a hands-on outdoor demo in the barn area. Dr. Ravagnani showcased how to properly mix the product and apply it using a hand sprayer, foot bath, and surface treatment. The combination of visuals and real-world application gave producers a clear, practical look at how these solutions can be used on-farm, with Rachel guiding the conversation through educational, hands-on questions.
