Welcome to the Pig Pen! September is upon us and that means lots of kids going back to school and National Barrow Show just around the corner! Lots of folks are suffering right now in the south as a result of Harvey, but I have to say I’ve been super-impressed by the response to this tragedy. Lots of regular people volunteering their time, money and personal property to help in the rescue efforts and to get people back on their feet! I think it’s worth noting the difference in culture when something like this happens in Texas as opposed to disasters in other parts of the country. Those Texans just pick themselves up and get to work. I’ve got to admire that kind of attitude and I wish there were more just like them all across the country.
Will you be the next Grimm?
Welcome to the Pig Pen! I was recently at the Indiana State Fair where news was circulating around the hog barn about Jim Grimm selling his herd and retiring. Jim has been a friend of mine for a number of years, and someone who I’ve always admired and respected both as a talented hog breeder and even more as a genuine, honest person.
