Summer of Parades

Summer is officially here and that means parades are in full swing! Our crew was hard to miss this morning quite literally parading down the streets of Clarion for the Festival in the Park Celebration in our hot pink t-shirts handing out candy and recipe booklets filled with delicious pork ideas for summer BBQs, parties and celebrations.

Big thanks to all of our awesome employees and their family members that braved the heat to come out and help. We had more than 20 volunteers from our sow and nursery teams including Bacilio Cruz, Justin Romp, Doug Van Wyk, Rocio Lopez, Sergio Gomez, Chester Browning, Yanileth Garcia and Alex Ponce.

From parades and BBQs to outdoor concerts and pool time, summer activities are in full swing and we hope everyone is having a fun, safe weekend. Keep an eye out for the Iowa Select Farms big rig because we’ve got a full summer of parades ahead of us and are more than likely headed to a city near you!
