A thumbs-up for a great first stop at our Community Thank You events in Crete yesterday!

Crete plays an important role in Nebraska’s pork industry, and we loved the opportunity to show our appreciation for the community members who help keep it thriving! A special thank you to Beatrice pork producer Brian Zimmerman and his grandkids for helping prepare the meal, and to everyone who stopped by to enjoy a pork sandwich.

We’re excited to keep the appreciation going as we travel across Nebraska this week and next. We hope to see you at our next stop!

Serving starts at 11:30 and goes until 1 o'clock, or until supplies last!

10/29: Madison - City Park Shelter House
11/3: Hartington - Hotel Hartington

Please help us welcome Bryn Hannan to the Nebraska Pork Producers Association team as our new Operations and Events Manager!

Bryn grew up on a farm outside of Fremont, Nebraska, where she developed her passion for the swine industry through showing pigs. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Animal Science with a minor in Agribusiness from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she also served as the Swine Teaching Herd Coordinator.

While still in college, Bryn founded the Nebraska Swine Circuit in 2021, creating opportunities for young people to exhibit their projects across the state and participate in educational and leadership activities. Since then, the organization has grown into Nebraska’s only statewide swine exhibition circuit, with both a junior board and an executive board.

Bryn brings a strong background in event planning, organization, and leadership, along with a genuine passion for serving producers and advocating for the swine industry. She is excited to bring her experience and skills to NPPA and continue supporting Nebraska’s pork industry!

Please join us in welcoming Bryn to the team! You can reach her at [email protected].

Behind every pig is a producer who shows up, puts in the work, and cares about doing things right.

This National Farmers Day, we’re celebrating the Nebraska pork producers who dedicate their time and passion to raising pigs, supporting their communities, and helping keep food on our tables. Today, and every day, we’re proud to stand alongside the people who make Nebraska pork possible.

Happy National Farmers Day!
