Jul. 11, 2014 Source: Penton Farm Progress news release Kevin Schulz joins National Hog Farmer as a senior content specialist after a long career as the editor of The Land magazine, an agricultural-rural life publication based in Mankato, Minn. National Hog Farmer, the pork business authority, is a Penton Farm Progress branded information resource. During his tenure at The Land, the publication grew from covering 55 Minnesota counties to encompassing the entire state, as well as 30 counties in northern Iowa. Covering all facets of Minnesota and Iowa agriculture, Schulz was able to stay close to his roots as a southern Minnesota farm boy raised on a corn, soybean and hog finishing farm. One particular area where he stayed close to his roots is working with the FFA organization. Covering the FFA programs stayed near and dear to his heart, and he has been recognized for such coverage over the years. He has received the Minnesota FFA Communicator of the Year award, and this year was honored with the Minnesota Honorary FFA Degree. Schulz attended South Dakota State University, majoring in agricultural journalism. He was also a member of Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity and now belongs to its alumni organization. When not covering the pork industry on behalf of National Hog Farmer readers, Schulz enjoys spending time traveling with family, making it a quest to reach all 50 states - 46 so far - and three countries. He also enjoys reading, music, photography, playing basketball, and enjoying nature and campfires with friends and family. In his new role, Schulz will be writing and editing stories for National Hog Farmer magazine in addition to covering news for the NationalHogFarmer.com website and National Hog Farmer's Weekly Preview and Weekly Wrap Up newsletters.
