PEOPLE CARE

At Iowa Select Farms, we are wholeheartedly committed to the care of our people—our nearly 1,000 employees who tend to our animals and work in departments that provide service and support to our 700 farms. We owe all of our success to their care and dedication and pledge to be a good employer and continue to get even better.

We believe people care is not about one thing, it’s about everything. There’s a reason the Des Moines Register has designated Iowa Select Farms as a Top Workplace.

OUR ANIMAL CARE

For more than 20 years, we have been committed to responsibly producing pork and providing a safe, quality and wholesome product to our processing customers. Since the beginning, we’ve enforced a strong commitment to providing the best care to every animal, every day. This is rooted in our belief that providing the best care is not only the right thing to do for our animals, but also the right thing for our caregivers, our company, and ultimately, the success of those who produce high quality, safe and affordable food for our growing population.

#billionpoundsThis career isn’t for everyone, but everyone’s sure counting on us. In fact over 8 billion people are counting on farmers of all shapes and sizes to produce food for a hungry world. Iowa Select Farms cares for 10% of the pigs raised in Iowa, the largest pork producing state in the US. Size is relative, so whether you feel it’s a significant contribution or shockingly small, what’s more important is that our hearts are big, our passion is mighty and we care greatly about the role we play in responsibly producing pork. Follow our #billionpound adventure here or on Facebook to be a part of our billion pound journey. ‪

COMMUNITY CARE

While we stay focused on the goal of producing one billion pounds of safe and nutritious pork for the U.S. and global food supply, we also remain dedicated to doing the right thing to help others, especially in our communities and the state of Iowa.
