After seven years with Iowa Select Farms and more than 20 years of experience in the swine industry, Wean-to-Finish Supervisor, Mike, is heading into a well-deserved retirement TODAY! 🎉

Mike brought a wealth of knowledge to his role, but his coworkers say it’s his steady personality and the way he treated people that they’ll remember most.

“Mike was a very kind and respectful supervisor,” said Trent, Director of Wean-to-Finish. “He always treated anyone he worked with respectfully and the way he would want to be treated.”

Senior Wean-to-Finish Supervisor, Jason, echoed those thoughts, sharing, “Mike was always a great communicator. He reached out when needed, always answered his phone and was someone you could count on. He never got worked up about much — he was always laid-back and steady.”

And what better way to spend his last day than at the Iowa State Fair! Today, we get to celebrate Mike alongside our employees and families during our second weekend of Employee Days at the Fair.

Thank you, Mike, for seven great years! We’ll miss having you on the other end of the phone and seeing you out on the farms, but we’re excited for you to enjoy this next chapter.

Happy retirement!

The Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation was proud to sponsor the Iowa State Fair Veterans Parade on Monday, August 17. This year's event celebrated America 250, honoring veterans from all eras of American history.

The Foundation handed out breakfast sandwiches and bottled water to parade participants and shared information about the My Veteran Hero program, helping veteran register their friends and loved ones to receive hats.

At the event, the team was honored to present My Veteran Hero hats to the United States Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Doug Collins, and Congressman Zach Nunn.

Look good 🤝 feel good!

The Production, Maintenance and Special Projects teams have been prioritizing exterior updates across multiple farms, and the results are showing!

So far this year, thousands of facility improvements have been made across our sites. That includes more than 19,000 linear feet of new curtains, nearly 1,600 feeder repairs and 72 slat patch projects. Seven major dirt work projects have also been completed — including the work pictured here at Sow 8 — with even more improvements underway!

From water regulators and pit covers to soffits, cool cells, feeders, curtains and more, it takes a lot of hands, coordination and teamwork to care for our farms at this scale.

A big thank you to our Maintenance, Production and Special Projects teams for taking pride in our farms and working together to make them better every day.

Packed with LOVE! ❤️🐷🎡

We’re getting ready to welcome Iowa Select Farms employees and contractors, along with their families and friends, for one of our favorite traditions of the year — Iowa Select Farms Employee Days at the Iowa State Fair!

From admission tickets and free perks at some of our favorite vendors across the fairgrounds to this year’s highly anticipated Uncle HAM T-shirt recognizing America 250, there’s a whole lot of packing, organizing and teamwork happening behind the scenes. A big thank you to our HR, Communications and Production Accounting teams for preparing each package individually with love for the people who make Iowa Select Farms so special.

We can’t wait to welcome everyone to the Fair over the next several days — and with Uncle HAM out in full force, you won’t be able to miss the hardworking people who help feed Iowa, our nation and beyond!

🚲The Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation was proud to be part of the excitement as thousands of RAGBRAI riders made their way through Exira during this year's ride across Iowa.

In recognition of Thin Line Appreciation Day, our team had the opportunity to connect with riders and community members while handing out more than 6,500 pork sticks to help fuel their journey. We also distributed 67 My Veteran Hero hats and hundreds of "Supporting Hometown Heroes" slap koozies, celebrating the military members, veterans, and first responders who make a difference in our communities every day.

Events like RAGBRAI are a great reminder of what makes Iowa special—strong communities, hometown pride, and neighbors coming together to support one another.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit with us. We loved being part of another unforgettable RAGBRAI experience and look forward to seeing you down the road!

☀🐷Haul Out Hunger wrapped up another successful week of serving Iowa communities!

During the fifth and final week of deliveries, the Deb & Jeff Hansen Foundation staff delivered 6,036 pounds of ground pork, providing an estimated 24,144 servings of nutritious protein to Iowa families.

This week's deliveries reached communities in Osceola, Garden Grove, New Virginia, Chariton, Murray, Corydon, Carroll, Dayton, Gowrie, Jefferson, Lake City, and Rockwell City, serving families across Calhoun, Carroll, Clarke, Decatur, Greene, Lucas, Warren, Wayne, and Webster counties.

In addition, 38 Henry's Heroes tote bags filled with diapers and wet wipes were distributed to help families with young children, because we know even the smallest acts of support can go a long way.

As another Haul Out Hunger season comes to a close, we extend our heartfelt thanks to every food pantry and community organization that partnered with us this summer. We're also incredibly grateful for the volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to keeping these pantries running and ensuring their neighbors have access to nutritious meals. Together, you're making a lasting difference in communities across Iowa!🐷☀

The Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation is proud to announce the first recipient of its new Freeze Out Hunger program: the Humeston-Garden Grove Food Pantry.

A sister program to the Foundation’s flagship Haul Out Hunger program, which delivers ground pork to food pantries each summer, Freeze Out Hunger is designed to support new food pantries in rural Iowa by providing freezers to help establish the infrastructure needed to serve their communities.

A freezer allows food pantries to safely store and distribute a wider variety of nutritious foods, including proteins, bread, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, and other perishable items. This resource strengthens their ability to provide more complete and nutritious food options for families facing food insecurity.

The Humeston-Garden Grove Food Pantry officially opened its doors in March 2026 and is already serving 70 families each month. Operated entirely through donations, the pantry relies on community support to meet the significant needs of the families it serves.

"The addition of this new freezer is a game changer for our operations. It allows us to safely store and distribute high-quality food, ensuring that the families we serve have access to nutritious meals," said Amy Peplinski, Chairperson of the Humeston-Garden Grove Food Pantry. "This donation provides a critical foundation for our infrastructure, allowing us to expand our capacity for frozen food. The impact of this equipment on our ability to combat food insecurity in our community cannot be overstated."

The Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation is honored to partner with new food pantries as they build the resources necessary to address food insecurity in our Homegrown Iowa communities. Through Freeze Out Hunger, the Foundation is helping create stronger, more sustainable food access systems—one freezer at a time.
