A pork producer from Le Mars was honored yesterday by the Iowa Pork Producers Association. Andy Schroeder was honored with the IPPA’s Hog Wild Award, recognizing his contributions to the Plymouth County Pork Producers. Schroeder is president of the county organization, and has served on the board for ten years. He’s helped coordinate many projects, including donating hams to area food pantries during the holidays, as well as to local service members, police, medical professionals, and firefighters.
