Happy Pork Month and thank you for all the hard work you do to feed families around the world.
We are only six days into Porktober and my social media feeds have been full of posts from pork producers, industry members and state and national associations showing their passion for pig farming and the world's most consumed protein. I am so thankful, as this month couldn't have come at a better time.
I know October became known as Pork Month because it marked the time of year when hogs were traditionally marketed, but after seven months of a pandemic and now less than 30 days before a highly contentious election, the timing of this annual celebration couldn't be any better. It's been refreshing to open up my social media apps and see you — the great people I get to write about each day. And while I thoroughly enjoy writing about pork production and all of the people who make this industry so successful, a picture is often worth a thousand words.
Take a scroll down and see what I mean. Please note this is just a sampling of the Porktober posts we have seen or been tagged in. Unfortunately, if the post had an emoji, including the cute little pig one, it wouldn't upload on our site. In the meantime, Happy Pork Month and thank you for all the hard work you do to feed families around the world, and thank you for brightening up my month with your passionate posts.
It's October which means Pork Month! This is a month to celebrate hardworking pork producers, educate about the nutrient benefits of pork products and show support to our pork producers! #TeamPork#RealPork#Porktober#PorkMonth#WakefieldPork#RealPigFarmingpic.twitter.com/zjbTGWoA0H

October is #NationalPorkMonth! We asked a farm family how they juggle caring for their pigs AND harvesting their crop. #porktober#askafarmer#harvest20https://t.co/tu6KiBQF3S

So thankful I get to be a part of both the show pig industry that raises future leaders/swine enthusiasts while promoting purebred swine and the commercial hog industry that works to provide a safe, sustainable protein source to the world #realpigfarming#porktober#showpigspic.twitter.com/5KMALWYlnA
