On the Ground: Pork Production Stories
Behind every barn and every site in pork production are the people and practices that make it all work. This series shines a light on the teams who embody dedication to animal care, biosecurity, and operational excellence—sharing their stories from the ground level of our industry.
At Christensen Farms’ C66 site in Illinois, success is built on more than just routine—it’s built on people.
The C66 team has earned recognition for their dedication to three critical pillars of modern pork production: animal care, biosecurity, and operational excellence. Each day, they work with precision to ensure pigs are raised with the highest attention to health and welfare. Their strict adherence to biosecurity protects not only their own herd, but also contributes to safeguarding the wider industry.
What makes this site stand out, however, is not just process—it’s pride. The people at C66 bring consistency, accountability, and a deep sense of responsibility to their work. Their example embodies Christensen Farms’ mission: doing what’s right for the pigs, the people, and the future of agriculture.
C66 serves as a reminder that the strongest operations happen when skilled teams and strong practices come together. It’s here, on the ground, where the future of pork production is being shaped every day.
