It's September Already

The end of August is a time of transition. The days are getting shorter, kids are back in school. As a matter of fact you may notice a change in the writing style of the blog. Cory has gone back to Dordt for his senior year of college. As a result the blog may have fewer words and more pictures.

In late August there begins to be a sense of urgency to finish projects that we had “all” summer to get done.

One major project was to take down an old farrowing house we no longer use. Jerry and his track hoe made short work of the building. I tried to not get to sentimental about it being torn down, but it is where I learned the discipline of daily chores and the basics of pig care. It is important to not let nostalgia get in the way of progress. The farrowing house that replaced it is better for the pigs and the caretakers.

I would like to keep writing but as you can see from the pictures we have projects to get done before harvest. Have a great Labor Day weekend and make the most of the rest of your summer.

Priorities

Much like fall, spring is a very busy time on a livestock/crop farm. Sometimes the most difficult thing to do is to decide what to do first. When the weather warms and the fields dry it is time to put the crop in the ground. Time is of the essence when it comes to planting. There are weeks were you may only get a few hours in the fields due to weather. An dry, early spring is no indication of a dry later spring. Despite the pressures of planting, the crops are not the first priority of the day. The pigs always get top billing. Chores, weaning, breeding, load for market, all get don...

Employee Feature: Jon Phelps

“This will take only 10 minutes, I promise”, I reassure the head of farrowing as he takes a rare break from his work. A familiar, bashful smile appears while we make our way to the office space of the building. “You’re the first employee we’re doing a feature on, so you should definitely feel special about this one.” He laughs and we begin. This is Jon Phelps, the recently promoted head of farrowing here at VG Farms. For the past six years he has spent his time helping nearly a quarter of a million piglets into the world. It all started when he decided he wanted to return to hog farming since leaving an operation in Alexandria, South Dakota. “I saw the opening online and had previous experience in farrowing that I really enjoyed”, he explains, “I filled out the application and here I am.” Jon has come along quite a ways since first beginning with the VG Farms family; from doing chores at on...

Backing Away from Basics

How many times have you said to yourself or to others that there is a need to get back to basics? A return to the basics can help us realign with the fundamental principles of the task at hand. It’s generally very helpful. When I was struggling in a sport, I often backtracked to the fundamentals to discovered my point of error. Other’s use it in work, family life, and in cooking. Unfortunately, I believe that we have remained a bit too basic in our approach to pork. Go to a retail store and you will see the same cuts that have been available for the past 30 years. You will see chops, shoulder and loin roasts, tenderloins, ham steaks, etc. Now there is nothing wrong with those cuts as they present a myriad of cooking opportunities. But the wonderful pig produces so much more! Take for example some of the dishes we served this week at a pork education event. We made street tacos out of pork steaks (it’s the Spinalis muscle if you want to get technical). We made Chulet...
