Area Residents Among Master Pork Award Winners

The Iowa Pork Producers Association announced the 2024 Master Pork Producers at the Iowa Pork Congress banquet last week in Des Moines.

The 83rd class of Master Pork Producers include Kevin and Devin Lux of Cherokee.

The award recognizes individuals and families who excel in pork production as demonstrated by outstanding production practices, make meaningful contributions to their communities, and are committed to We Care principals. The We Care principals emphasize the responsibilities of pig farmers to uphold the highest standards in animal care, food safety, environmental stewardship, and ethical practices.

The Iowa Pork Producers Association started the Master Pork Producer Award program in 1942, and now has named 1,533 Iowa pig farming businesses as Master Pork Producers.

Steven Doeden of Cleghorn earned the Pork All-American Award.
