Future Profits Podcast

Trevor and Adam welcome Erin Brenneman with Brenneman Pork. Erin works in a sow farm for Brenneman pork while also being the public relations manager. Erin grew up in suburban Chicago never having been on a farm before marrying her husband and taking on the life of a pig producer. This upbringing has given Erin a unique perspective and helps her relate to those outside of our agriculture community. This gave Erin a passion for informing everyone and telling a story as it pertains to agriculture and how our food is produced. Be sure to follow Erin on Instagram and TikTok @sowmomma.
