The Iowa Pork Producers Association (IPPA) recently presented its award for the top individual pork promoters to Joel and Laura Huber of Wellman. Commonly referred to as the Hog Wild Award, it is usually reserved for the top male pork promoter, but the Hubers work as a team and the IPPA recognized them both. In 2016, they devoted three weekends promoting pork at the Iowa Speedway in Newton, coordinated a RAGBRAI pork promotion, and helped with numerous other grilling events. The IPPA Promotions Committee annually presents the Hog Wild Award to an individual who commits their time and efforts to introducing consumers to new and exciting pork products, educating restaurants and retailers about products they produce, or assisting with the many county and state activities to better the Iowa pork industry.
