Pork Industry Invited to Fill Out Industry-Wide HR Survey

Nov 28, 2022

Pork producer input is needed for an industry-wide survey that’s being conducted by AgCareers.com. On behalf of the National Pork Board, AgCareers.com is conducting a Compensation and HR Practices Survey specific to the swine industry.

“Our goal is to provide the swine industry with critical data necessary to make sound human resource-related decisions,” AgCareers.com explained.

All results will be held confidential with only aggregate results being shared with the National Pork Board. Individual organization information will not be shared.

Producers are encouraged to provide complete and accurate data as the information shared betters the pork industry, AgCareers.com said. Those who participate will receive a copy of the study. Survey participants will also receive a $25 Amazon gift card as a token of thanks for their time and efforts with this initiative.

“National Pork Board has had AgCareers.com conduct this study twice previously, the first study was done in 2011. The industry asked for this resource, as there has been many changes post-pandemic,” explains Alicia Weber, state and producer engagement at the National Pork Board.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.
