It's February. That means time is getting short to meet the March 31 deadline to apply for the 2011 Pork Industry Environmental Stewards awards. This award is co-sponsored by the Pork Checkoff and National Hog Farmer.
Applications are available on Checkoff's homepage at pork.org. They can be completed with a few farm records as reference, some photos and a bit of reflection by the applicant on why they go above and beyond to demonstrate the industry's ethical principles as it relates to the environment.
Here are some recent award winners and what they have to say about the entire process-before, during and after becoming a national Environmental Steward.
