Jamon, Y’all

In 2015, Will Harris, a farmer in southwest Georgia, partnered with a pair of Spanish entrepreneur brothers to bring Iberian pigs to the United States. The climate would be different (from hot, dry Spain to wet, humid Georgia) and so would the pigs' diet (they would eat Georgia pecans instead of acorns), but Harris figured this expensive gamble could pay off. Can jamón ibérico can be reduced to a simple formula (pigs + pasture + acorns), or is there more to the story?
