Iowa’s 2016 Pork All-Americans are from Washington County. The Iowa Pork Producers Association presented the award to Tim and Erin Brenneman at the 45th annual Iowa Pork Congress Banquet in Des Moines. The Brennemans have 29,000 sows and finish more than 620,000 head annually. Tim oversees the nursery and finishing operations as head of live production and Erin specializes in day-one pig care, while overseeing public relations and social media. The couple graduated in 2004 from Iowa State University in ag studies and animal science. The Pork All American award is the highest honor an Iowa pig producer can receive from the organization. To be eligible for the award a producer must be under the age of 40 and a Master Pork Producer.
