Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer

As of 2016, the farm has been in the family for 162 years. At any time, approximately 50 million hogs are being raised in the state with just over 3 million people. That's about one-third of all the pigs raised in the United States. One reason: the grain ground for hog food is often taken from the hog farmer's own corn and soybean fields.
