Meet Brock G., one of our Regional Wean Finish Managers! Brock was introduced to the pork industry in his youth and has been working with pigs ever since. He grew up on a dairy farm in Southeast Wisconsin. When Brock was 14, and his family sold the dairy cows and started raising pigs. In high school, he remodeled their calf barn and started his farrow to finish operation. Just like many of us, Brock showed pigs and judged dairy cattle in his years within the FFA organization. Brock is one of our regional wean-to-finish managers, but his journey with SFI started as a grower in 2015 with the farmer he worked for. In 2018, he joined the SFI family as a site supervisor and in the fall of 2023, he transitioned to POD Manager. When asked about his experience with SFI, Brock said, “I thoroughly enjoy all of the people I work with, from growers, employees, office staff, and everyone in between.” What’s most rewarding is “knowing that we are producing a quality product for the world to eat.” Thank you, Brock, for your work within SFI facilities and with various team members. We are so lucky to have you at SFI!

We are blessed to have many families working together within our barns, but very rarely does it go past two generations working under the same roof... until now! Tyler I. is a local high schooler who joined us for some summer employment. Tyler's father, grandfather, and two grandmothers are all employed at Huiras, making Tyler the third generation working within the sow farm! Between Tyler, Cody, Theresa, Lorne, and Jeannie, their family has a collective 78 years spent with SFI. Any guesses on what their family discusses at holidays and gatherings?🐷

Over the weekend, the Children's Museum of Southern Minnesota hosted its first-ever agriculture education day. We are so thankful for the opportunity to participate and connect with young families and inner-city youth. Kiddos were able to view and interact with a fleet of semi-trucks and tractors, seed planting, a truck wash, corn/soybean pits, and much more. Thank you to Ron T. and the Minnesota Pork Board for managing our pig truck booth and teaching participants about pork production. It was an amazing day!

Another Discovery Day in the books in our Minnesota office! Last week students from the Sleepy Eye and Springfield FFA Chapters, along with our summer interns, attended “Discovery Day” at Schwartz Farms for a behind-the-scenes look at our family business. Participants met with John Schwartz to learn more about Schwartz Farms, discovered career opportunities by meeting with all the various departments, enjoyed a fantastic pork lunch, and toured a sow farm. It was an amazing experience to explore pork production beyond the classroom. This was a day filled with hands-on, interactive learning, and a lot of fun!

Say hello to our 2024 summer interns! These students kicked off their internship program with orientation week. This crew met SFI team members, toured facilities, and had a little bonding at the bowling alley. Not to mention celebrating Aaron's birthday! Good luck to these students as they start their first week working in their new facilities and with new teams. We look forward to hearing about their experiences and everything they learn throughout the summer If you see them around this summer, be sure to give them a warm SFI welcome!
