With Christmas just a few days away, stand-up comedienne and actress Amy Schumer gave her father an early gift by purchasing the farm he owned during her childhood.

“Today I bought my father’s farm back,” she wrote on Instagram after sharing a photo of her giving her father, Gordon, the news.

According to her biography, Schumer’s father operated a baby furniture company in New York City before being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when Amy was 12. As a result of his condition, the family business went bankrupt, forcing the family to leave the farm behind.

After sharing the news of her purchase. Schumer posted a childhood video of herself running through a field.

“Video from the farm when I was running away in the cornfield and my dad was taunting me because I wanted him to come with me,” she wrote on Instagram. “We lost the farm when we lost everything else. But today I got to buy it back for him.”

No information on the farm’s location or the sale price is currently available.

Video: What Does 20 MILLION Hogs a Year Look Like?

?? The Multi-Plant System Processing 20 Million Hogs Annually in the Midwest JBS USA operates multiple large-scale pork processing facilities across the Midwest, including major plants in Iowa, Minnesota, and Indiana. Combined, these facilities have the capacity to process approximately 20 million hogs annually.

Each plant operates high-speed automated slaughter systems capable of processing up to 20,000 head per day, followed by fabrication lines that break carcasses into primals, sub-primals, and case-ready retail products.

Hog procurement is coordinated through electronic marketing platforms that connect regional contract finishing operations and independent producers to plant demand schedules. This digital procurement system allows for steady supply flow and scheduling efficiency across multiple facilities.

Processing plants incorporate comprehensive food safety systems, including pathogen intervention technologies, rapid chilling processes, and integrated cold-chain management. USDA inspection is embedded throughout the harvest and fabrication stages to ensure regulatory compliance and product integrity. Finished pork products — from bulk primals to retail-ready packaged cuts — are distributed through coordinated logistics networks serving domestic and export markets.
