Each year, we spend a lot of time talking with people working throughout pork production. Compensation is always part of those conversations, but salary alone does not tell the whole story. Our 2026 Swine Live Production Salary Survey received 136 responses. The results were reviewed before analysis, with incomplete or unreliable responses excluded from the [...]
Like many people, I take some time in the fall to look back at the year and ask myself a few questions. Am I living the life I want? Are things moving in the direction I expected? Am I spending my time on work that still matters to me? There is another question I [...]

At some point in your career, you stop thinking about just having a job and start asking—what’s next? That’s the mid-career phase, where comfort can feel like success, but also like a trap.

The key is knowing what to ask for, when to [...]

But what if we flipped this script? What if the hiring manager also recognized the effort and value the candidate brings to the table? Suzanne Lucas, in her thought-provoking [...]
Who hasn't felt overwhelmed at work these days? You might even say it feels like "Professional ADD"—a term capturing our collective struggle with constant distractions and multitasking at work. Between the endless emails, urgent messages that aren't really urgent, and the daily grind, it's easy to feel like you're busy but not really getting anything [...]
