National Hog Farmer's  Masters of the Pork Industry  are a very special, hand-picked group of leaders who share their personal stories and philosophies about the future of the pork industry. The Masters are professionals, entrepreneurs, and family-based men and women whose dedication and wisdom are sure to inspire young and old as they tackle the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in an ever-changing, global pork industry.  National Hog Farmer has devoted a portion of our May, “State of the Pork Industry” issue of the magazine to bringing these leaders' stories to our readers since 2006. Grab a cup of coffee, pull up a chair, sit back and enjoy these inspiring stories.
