Pork Industry Invited to Fill Out Industry-Wide HR Survey

Pork producer input is needed for an industry-wide survey that’s being conducted by AgCareers.com. On behalf of the National Pork Board, AgCareers.com is conducting a Compensation and HR Practices Survey specific to the swine industry. 

“Our goal is to provide the swine industry with critical data necessary to make sound human resource-related decisions,” AgCareers.com explained.

All results will be held confidential with only aggregate results being shared with the National Pork Board. Individual organization information will not be shared. 

Producers are encouraged to provide complete and accurate data as the information shared betters the pork industry, AgCareers.com said. Those who participate will receive a copy of the study. Survey participants will also receive a $25 Amazon gift card as a token of thanks for their time and efforts with this initiative.

“National Pork Board has had AgCareers.com conduct this study twice previously, the first study was done in 2011. The industry asked for this resource, as there has been many changes post-pandemic,” explains Alicia Weber, state and producer engagement at the National Pork Board.

Video: Online Sheep Auction & Trying To Get Sheep Fed!

It's time for some new Dorset breeding rams at Ewetopia Farms, so we head to the Morinville Colony online sheep auction to see what they have available. We show you what is involved with bidding online and what a "race horse" finish looks like.

The following days are spent trying to get our sheep fed. We are totally out of hay at the moment so we are getting by with feeding the sheep some old hay supplemented with grain, sharing pastures with the various sheep groups, and working hard to get hay cut between rain showers. Not easy!
