Pork production. How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. It may be Valentine’s Day, but America’s pig farmers show their love for the job every day.

It’s a commitment pork producers made more than 10 years ago. Through the We Care initiative, farmers and employees consistently use best practices in raising animals. But We Care is also a promise to the public that as an industry, America’s pig farmers are committed to responsible and ethical animal agriculture. U.S. pork producers are truly concerned about making this industry better for all — animals, farmers, food industry partners and consumers worldwide.

That commitment shines through these photos you shared with us this week, including this cover photo from Iowa Select Farm’s Rout Sow Farm in north central Iowa. Click through the slideshow to see more special moments throughout the industry.
