A strong year for Iowa pork producers

Kevin Rasmussen is a farmer from Humboldt County Iowa who served as the Iowa Pork Producers Association President in 2022 and now serves on the board of directors. He says that 2022 was a year of smooth sailing.

Rasmussen says that a big focus in 2022 was helping to find funding for the Iowa State University veterinary diagnostics lab.

Rasmussen says that the IPPA and Iowa pork are in a good place because of the hard work of the board members.

Past president Kevin Rasmussen spoke with the IARN at the IPPA Pork Congress in Des Moines in late January.

Video: Farming At Night | Baling Hay | Feeding Sheep | Locking Gates!

Farming often goes on well into the night. In today's sheep farming vlog, we finish baling hay in the dark so that we can start wrapping the hay first thing in the morning. Meanwhile, back at the farm, I head out to the sheep barns to complete the nightly sheep chores which includes feeding bottle lambs their milk, kicking in the day's hay to the sheep, making sure all the sheep are in the barns for the night, and locking all the gates to prevent predators getting in to the paddocks and barns at night.
