A member of the Ohio Pork family of producers got the honor of kicking off the 50th Anniversary Leman Swine Conference in St. Paul, Minnesota, today with Pat Hord, CEO of Hord Family Farms, presenting his vision on sustainability in the pork industry. While the Hord vision tree of Trust, Empowerment, Innovation, Care, and Courage guide the organization overall, Pat told the hundreds gathered that they also focus on five key aspects of sustainability that includes profitability, business continuity, environment, pig care, and communities. “The things we adopt to be more sustainable in these areas all make sense for our business and allow us to stay in business for the long term.” #LemanSwine #OHPork
