On January 14, 2020, a group of contract growers with Christensen Farms & Feedlots, Inc. (CF) went down to Triumph Foods and Daily’s Premium Meats in St. Joseph, MO, to tour the facilities with CF VP of Live Operations, Jeff Rusch and Regional General Manager, Dr. Tyler Te Grotenhuis. The growers toured both facilities, where they were able to see the processing of pigs and meat products, as well as the highly advanced technology and mechanics at those locations.
The growers, Paul Nielsen, Thomas Doeden, Phil Hardt, Michael Mulder, and Josh Schreck, won this exciting trip last summer by attending the annual Producer Expo appreciation event. This event gives CF the opportunity to appreciate and recognize its contract partners who are committed to and take pride in being an industry leader in responsibly producing high quality pork for the noble purpose of providing food to a growing world through the role they play within our organization.
