The show pig industry is built on passion, dedication and a commitment to excellence both in and out of the ring. It's about more than just winning ribbons and banners — it’s about shaping the future for the next generation. A Seat at the Table is a monthly series that highlights show pig producers who are stepping into leadership roles within their state associations. These individuals are actively shaping the future of the industry through their passion for agriculture and their commitment to making a lasting impact. First up, we have Ben Schmaling of Iowa, who is a member of the Iowa Pork Producers Association Board of Directors!
