Since 2023, Iowa pork producers have been fighting food insecurity through Pork in the Pantry. Pork in the Pantry offers funding for county pork producer organizations to purchase and donate pork to local food pantries.
Available in towns and cities throughout the state, the Bacon a Difference program is our way of supporting emergency response units to keep our communities safe.
Bacon Buddies® is a program designed to give individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (Buddies) the opportunity to take a pig into the show ring. Their mentors include 4-H and FFA youth who have volunteered to share the show ring experience right alongside them.
Being a good neighbor is rooted in Iowa’s history, and that includes preserving our communities for the years to come. Not only do pig farms provide job opportunities, they help stimulate the local economy.
