Brian Anderson has spent 24 years feeding livestock, and he has a word of caution for this year's corn. A negative test is not a guarantee.

Every new crop brings fresh challenges, and this year the experts are saying mycotoxin occurrence is increasing. Brian shares his guidance in a new article on Swineweb.com, so you can make the right call for your operation. Read it here 👇

Your Corn Test Says Clean. Your Pigs May Disagree.

A reassuring lab result. A barn telling a different story.

When pig performance falls short, feed testing is an important piece of the investigation. But does one sample capture the full picture?

As this year’s crop moves into feed, understanding what mycotoxin tests reveal—and what they can miss—can help producers and nutrition teams make better decisions.

The numbers matter. So does what the pigs are telling you. Standard Nutrition Company Essential Ag Solutions

In April 1954, two farmers from Cresco, Iowa wrote us a letter. Our reps at the time had asked them to keep track of what they fed their sows and baby pigs. Six weeks later: 10 sows, 91 piglets, all 91 still thriving at $1.82 in feed per pig.

"Thank you for a good product," they wrote.

This ad is from a few years later. Creep Feed was sugar-sweetened because convincing a piglet to try solid food is a sales job of its own. The feed has changed since then, but asking for the numbers is still standard.

Dress clothes or barn boots, when a producer calls, this team steps away to pick up the phone. Habits like that are how Standard has lasted 140 years.

These are some of the people behind Standard Nutrition Services and we're proud of every one of them.

This week, our nutritionists traded the farms for a conference room in Omaha for Standard’s annual meeting. Two days of market outlooks, a producer’s view from Dwight Mogler of Mogler Farms, insights from the National Pork Board, sessions on trust and integrity, and plenty of hallway conversations about what’s working on your farm.

Together, the team in the room this week brings 237 years with Standard to your operation, and they’re headed back with their notebooks full.

Harvest doesn’t wait for lunch. So in Nebraska, lunch went to harvest. 🐖🌽

The Pilger Pork Feed on October 7 served about 567 meals, more than 200 above last year. A total of 449 of those were takeout, and a lot of them rode out to the fields to feed farmers in the middle of harvest.

Our own Keith Janata and his family were in the thick of it. Kerri made the salad, and Keith kept the serving line moving. Proceeds support the Cooper Family Community Center, a gathering place Pilger counts on all year.

We're glad to sponsor alongside Passel Farms and more (see the full list in the last photo). Thank you to every sponsor, volunteer, and hungry neighbor who showed up.

Happy October Pork Month!

"You little runt..."

A reminder that animal nutrition has always been serious business, even when the advertising wasn't.

Steady means being the partner producers can count on. For 140 years, we've worked to earn that confidence. Not just through what we do today, but by showing up year after year. That's the kind of reliability that lasts.
