This is just one example of how innovation is delivering everyday benefits for a growing population.

🚀 Retour vers le futur! 🚀 Or, “back to the future” for those of us who don’t speak French… It’s the theme for @Jean Poulin’s workshop at Le Porc Show at the Quebec City Convention Centre, a fitting 10 years after he first presented on grower pig feeding at Le Porc in 2015. 👨🚀 On Dec. 9, 2025, Jean will span 10 years, reflecting on if we’ve adjusted the needs of our grower pigs in that time. *Presented in French with live English translation Get ready to time travel: #PICGenetics #GrowerPig #SwineNutrition #LePorc

“Pigs weren’t on my radar,” says PIC Sales Representative, Dakota Peterson, who grew up on a beef and grain operation. Then, she spent a summer interning at a PIC owned elite farm… 🐽 And, she hit repeat on another summer as intern… 🐽 With two years of internship experience and, now, two years as a full-time employee, Dakota has come to appreciate just how special the swine industry is. 🐽 “The swine industry is so tough, so resilient. We rely on one another and work with one another. It’s an industry built on trust, and I really enjoy building that trust between PIC and the customers we serve.” She’s also appreciative of the leadership opportunities she’s been given while at PIC. “I’ve always been supported – whether it’s with internal training or by spending time with other people outside of my home in Canada. I’ve gotten so much exposure and experience in a relatively short time.” Ready for a career that grows with you?
