Introducing the 1942 brand. For years we sold our products under our name but we have realized that it didn’t capture how we do things. We farm based on old proven methods from the 1930’s-1950’s, back when food had flavor and you knew your farmer. As we get more and more of our products under this brand you’ll see them.

NASS has been a joke most of my life. They find millions of acres or bushels each year. Like “oh wow that’s where I put that.”

This week, the Iowa Corn Growers Association sent a letter to U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins asking for an investigation looking into the NASS crop reporting system. Iowa Corn met with NASS officials seeking answers related to the January crop report, and after that meeting, decided to send a letter of no confidence. Read the letter below ⬇️

I’ve been told over and over that my methods for feeding hogs will not work. I’ve been told my ration is too simple or has ingredients that will not help our stock. I refuse to be discouraged by those who tell me these things.

The truth is simple, I am using a few old text books from Universities and experts in hog production from the 1940’s and 1950’s. This predates “Pork the other white meat”. We utilize pasture, we limit confinement, we feed hay, our ration is unbelievably simple. We work with nature.

I let the truth speak for itself.

In 2024 we started this crazy adventure and sold 5 hogs that year.

In 2025 I sold not just 5 hogs but 27 hogs.

In 2026 the preorders have been overwhelming. To date we have over 50 preorders.

I don’t advertise, I don’t push our products. I simply allow our customers to tell others and allow the product to sell itself. This is going to be a crazy year!
