NEW YORK, Dec. 29, 2016 -- The National Pork Board conducted a satellite media tour in October to announce that Brad Greenway, a pig farmer from Mitchell, South Dakota, has been named the 2016 America’s Pig Farmer of the YearSM by achieving the highest score from a third-party judging panel and online voting. The award recognizes a pig farmer who excels at raising pigs using the We CareSM ethical principles and who connects with today’s consumers about how pork is produced.

Greenway has focused on doing what’s right for people, pigs and the planet on his family farm for the last 40 years. He and his wife, Peggy, own two wean-to-finish pig barns. They also raise beef cattle and grow corn, soybeans, wheat and alfalfa.
For the U.S. pork industry, social responsibility is demonstrated every day by taking care of people, pigs and the planet and taking steps to continuously improve. Today, there are more than 60,000 pig farmers in the U.S. raising more than 100 million pigs. The America’s Pig Farmer of the Year program recognizes the best pork producer in the country. Greenway excels at raising pigs through a dedicated focus on food and employee safety, animal welfare, the environment and community service.
“I look forward to sharing my personal farm story with consumers to help them understand the care that goes into raising pigs today,” said Greenway. “I am proud of my industry and the hard work my fellow farmers put into producing safe, high-quality food, and in caring for animals and the environment every day.”
