While I’m a big fan of Iowa’s production of field corn (offers a renewable fuel source, feeds our livestock and is processed for food and everyday products), I’m thankful at least 1% (about 3,400 acres) of Iowa’s cropland is used to grow sweet corn. 🤤 #CornGrowsIowa #IowaAg

Big fan of this list. 👇🏼

You made a cute kid, Matt Dolch and Dana Dolch. 😍

Today’s Iowa State Fair food dairy… Breakfast: Barksdale’s State Fair Cookies Lunch: Minty Moo Parfait from the Dairy Barn Snack: egg-on-a-stick from Iowa Egg Council Dinner: Red Bull smoothie Also, didn’t get the green polo memo. Thanks, coworkers… 😉 #IowaStateFair2022

"I can’t relate to pigs because I don’t raise them, I raise cattle, but for somebody [non-farmers] to say they know how to better than I do... well, I challenge them to come out to SD when it is 25 below and tell me they know better." Sounds like something Steve Dolch would say.

Attendees at this afternoon's Strategic Investment Program partner lunch got to meet Oscar, a member of the Beagle Brigade! Thank you, CBP, for participating in today's event at #WPX23.

Secretary Mike Naig presented the Wergin Good Farm Neighbor award today to the Dolch family from near Villisca. A very deserving family. Thanks to Coalition to Support Iowa's Farmers and The Big Show for partnering on this award. Learn more about about the family: iowaagriculture.gov/news/dolch-fam… #IowaAg

Deck the halls with hogs of holly! 🐖 NPPC wishes you a Merry Christmas and a sizzlin' holiday season! May your days be bacon-wrapped, nights filled with festive cheer, and your plates full of the savory delight of porcine excellence. Warm wishes from our NPPC family to yours!

The way someone treats others speaks volumes about the depth of their character and the warmth within their heart. As the IA Sec. of Ag and a Dept. of Agriculture under secretary, Bill always took time to befriend anyone lucky enough to be on the receiving end. A heartbreaking loss for all.

Happy National Siblings Day. Michael Dolch Marshall K. Dolch Mikayla Dolch

I have been fortunate to work alongside a handful of outstanding interns. Cassady Craddock, Lydia Johnson, Megan Clark, Grace Howe and Grace Long - your unique talents and dedication made my job truly rewarding. Thank you for being such great teammates and friends! #TeamPork

Prop. 12 is threatening the pork industry, but it is only a matter of time before other industries are impacted by decisions dictated by a particular state’s preference. We need a federal fix. It’s time for Congress to #FixProp12 in the Farm Bill & protect family farms.

Our weekly Capital Update got an upgrade! Now available in audio, this briefing keeps you informed on the policy issues shaping the pork industry and NPPC’s work to give U.S. pork producers a seat at the table. Listen in to stay on top of the latest: #HogTheMic #BaconBriefs

I spot Steve Dolch, my pops, bringing the hard hitting questions and laughter to the discussion. 🤠

Pork powers game day! Whether you are team ribs, pulled pork, or bacon-wrapped bites, pork is the real MVP of your spread. 🏈 Last year, 10 million pounds of ribs were sold during Super Bowl week—enough to stretch from Kansas City to Philadelphia... and then some! #SuperBowlLIX

Raw bacon? Banned. Precooked bacon? Greenlight. Prop. 12 is cooking up a compliance mess, and House Committee on Agriculture will tackle it tomorrow. Tune in: agriculture.house.gov/calendar/event…. #FixProp12

Last Dolch sibling left in the draft pool. Applications open. 😉

Tonight’s wisdom from my 16-year-old, about finding her future husband: “I really want a Charlie. I guess that means I better make sure I’m an Erika.”
