In this episode, Adam Walters shares his switch back to pig farming, his rise to becoming the Finishing Manager at Tosh Farms, and the changes he's witnessed and guided in pig farming practices. He discusses the essential value of fostering strong relationships, emphasizing the persisting importance of people in every industry, and underlines the significance of efficient biosecurity measures and the need for adaptable protocols. Listen as he details the transition from traditional farming methods to a wean-to-finish system and the creation of a new Baby Pig Tech role, and find out how his management style, derived from early life learnings in sports and farming, has shaped his successful career.
โIt starts with understanding what has to be done, setting up the protocols, and then teaching them to our managers so they fully understand why we're doing it. Creating that buy-in to the culture and how we treat people, everybody feels like they're a part of the farms." - Adam Walters
