Presents VPF's Featured Grower of October, 2024
The Anderson Family
JT and Kate Anderson of Pineview Farm began raising poultry for Cargill in 2017. Their children assist with the preparation of poultry houses and the coordination of bird deliveries. Kate's dad, Tom Thacker, is also a longtime grower for Cargill.
The Andersons prioritize bird health and welfare by strictly adhering to comprehensive biosecurity protocols and maintaining strong collaboration with our service technician.
They continuously update nutrient management plans to ensure the sustainable use of resources while protecting soil and water quality. They use a dedicated litter shed to help prevent nutrient runoff and preserve local ecosystems. Kate participates in a local soil and conservation district board, promoting best practices for land conservation. The Andersons also raise beef cattle with fenced-off streams and install water systems helping safeguard waterways from contamination.
Having been received two other the Grower of the Year awards, the Andersons are passionate about poultry farming. They like to work with animals, the independence of being self-employed, and the ability to advocate for commercial agriculture.
HATS OFF TO THE ANDERSONS!
