2007 Environmental Steward Videos

The Environmental Stewardship recognition program is co-sponsored by National Hog Farmer and Pork Checkoff. The program is for pork producers with all types and sizes of production systems who demonstrate a positive contribution to our natural environment.

A national selection committee of experts from various pork industry and natural resources disciplines selected this year's winners. Nominations were scored in eight key areas: general production, manure/nutrient management, soil and water conservation, air quality and odor control strategies, wildlife management, environmental management innovations and a short essay on the meaning of environmental stewardship.

National Hog Farmer is proud to partner with Pork Checkoff to deliver the positive environmental management stories contained in these pages. It is our hope that this recognition of the 2007 class of Environmental Stewards will serve to inspire the nation's pork producers as they work hard to be environmentally conscious citizens.
