Is it a Five-Star Hotel? Or a Modern Pig Farm?

Next week, National Pork Board is taking Mythbusting to the next level. We're building on the success of last year's video series, "The Rural Dictionary" with Eric Stonestreet, by launching a new iteration of the campaign.

The new Mythbusting video creates a metaphor between the modern pig farm experience and a five-star resort hotel.

The goal: share accurate information about pig farming with at-risk, meat-reducing consumers.

Using a hidden camera, we recorded participants in a focus group who thought they were hearing ideas for a state-of-the-art hotel. In the end, they learn that all the amenities and features of the hotel happen every day on modern pig farms.

The integrated communications campaign will be shared by national, regional, local and trade media, as well as local promotions with state pork associations.

Farm Wife Leaves Sheep Farmer To Fend For Himself!

Video: Farm Wife Leaves Sheep Farmer To Fend For Himself!

I officially left the farm today and abandoned Arnie to fend for himself on the sheep farm and in the kitchen. Watch as a sheep farmer copes with farm life minus the farm wife! You will see as he cooks two of his go-to meals, looks after the sheep dogs, plus lets the sheep out to the field and checks for tapeworms. He even takes you into the hayloft of the sheep barn to see where we used to store hay.
