About Nathan:

Hi, my name is Nathan Smith and I am the Modern Hog Farmer.  During the day, I am the Leadership Director of Kansas Smith Farms. We have about 100 great and dedicated people and a lot of pigs. We care for about 10,000 sows and raise about 250,000 hogs per year. My purpose here is to be honest and open about hog farming. I want to share the lessons I have been learning while raising pigs for 7 years. I used to think that working in animal agriculture was a boring, discouraging, ungrateful, and stinky industry to work in. But I have changed my mind and here is my story.
