Keith Schoettmer named Pig Farmer of the Year

An Indiana pig farmer has been named America’s Pig Farmer of the Year.

Keith Schoettmer of Tipton, Indiana, just north of Indianapolis, owns Schoettmer Prime Pork which produces 22,000 pigs a year.

The first-time award, presented by the National Pork Board, recognizes a pig farmer who raises pigs using the board’s ‘We Care’ ethical principles and who connects with consumers about how pork is raised.
