SWINE MANAGER OF THE YEAR Awards

The Ohio Pork Council Swine Manager of the Year award recognizes a leader of a swine operation who is highly knowledgeable of the pork industry and has demonstrated the ability to make key decisions on behalf of their operation. This year, the Ohio Pork Council is pleased to recognize Todd Post as the 2022 Swine Manager of the Year.

Todd is a graduate of The Ohio State University, where he studied Animal Science and was very involved in the agriculture department. His passion for pork and working with pigs led him to a career with Cooper Farms as the lead service person, where he has been employed since 2012.

Throughout Todd’s 10 years with Cooper Farms, he has been instrumental in the growth of their hog division while working hand in hand with the contract families who grow with Cooper Farms. Those that work alongside Todd often credit his communication and true passion for working with pigs and people.

Above all else, Todd’s passion for pigs shines through his work on a daily basis. Todd’s ability to ensure the culture of the operation is based on respect for the contract families and the pigs’ health and safety does not go unnoticed by those he works with. His commitment to the agricultural industry goes well beyond his normal job duties, and he can often be found working towards making improvements in sustainability, as well as helping those around him adapt to the changes in the pork industry.

Todd and his wife, Sara, and their four children reside in Fort Recovery, Ohio.

Congratulations, Todd!
