2012 Pork Industry Environmental Steward Award-winning Trail's End Sow Farm #2 is a large-scale sow farm surrounded by lush forages. The farm's approach to nutrient management helps provide habitat for wildlife while providing vegetative cover and haying opportunities. Jeff Mencke and Bill Barnes provide the guidance and leadership behind this successful pork production operation.
