This past week, Manitoba Pork Council announced the recipients of its 2013 Pork Industry Awards.
Henervic Farms was presented with the Pork Industry Swine Steward Award.
The Pork Industry Awards recognize excellence in Manitoba’s pork industry and are presented annually to individuals, groups and organizations that have made significant contributions to pork production. This year’s recipients have brought focus and passion to their work on behalf of the pork industry.
The following recipients received awards as part of MPC’s AGM banquet in Winnipeg with nearly 500 people in attendance.
Jonathan Kleinsasser, Managing Director at Crystal Spring Hog Equipment, was presented with the Pork Industry Innovation Award in recognition of outstanding contributions to the provincial and global hog industry through continuous improvement and innovation in design of quality equipment for animal food production.
Henervic Farms was presented with the Pork Industry Swine Steward Award in recognition of outstanding commitment and contributions to agriculture, to the hog industry, to community and to their fellow Manitobans.
“These are very worthy recipients,” says Chairman Karl Kynoch. “They both are family operations and it’s great to see families working so hard at contributing to the hog industry. Their passion and commitment is what will help this industry thrive.”
Manitoba Pork Council’s role and mission is to represent the province’s 500 pork producers by fostering the sustainability and prosperity of the pork industry for the good of hog producers and all Manitobans.
