< PreviousOmaha Omaha!“Looking ahead to 2018, I’d encourage each of you to assess your goals and game plan.”Famed and recently retired NFL Quarterback Peyton Manning made this Nebraska metropolis go viral with his unique audible on the line of scrimmage during his time as a Denver Bronco. Despite his physical abilities reaching their practical end in the NFL, Manning was able to adapt and reconfi gure his own strategy for success. While he couldn’t laser a pass with the same speed and strength of quarterbacks 10 years younger, I believe his ability to read defenses and readjust the offensive game plan was unrivaled. Someday, I think he will be a very successful coach, coordinator or manager. And all of his success came with humility and class. If you have never seen Manning’s retirement press conference, it’s worth a look. His refl ective look of the game and passion for football is truly inspiring. I see much of this same passion in our industry.Much like Peyton turning the page in his football story, we have the opportunity to refl ect on our own season in 2017. The National Swine Registry has had another successful year and it can be attributed to all of our breeder members, youth, sponsors, stakeholders, and employees. Yet just like any good quarterback, it’s important to assess the situation and understand what’s ahead down the fi eld. Tighter margins in agriculture, unparalleled growth in junior show entries, the decrease of purebred swine operations, and a general public being further removed from production agriculture all effect the strategies of the NSR moving forward. Fortunately, we have a great team and a game plan to be successful. Our staff is continuously focusing on improvements and looking forward with the goals of the Long Range Strategic Plan. Looking ahead to 2018, I’d encourage each of you to assess your goals and game plan. Call an audible or even take a time out if needed. How can I enhance my marketing strategies? How are my management skills and health protocols? Can I build that chip barn this year? How are my breeding decisions affecting my genetic progress? What can I gain by volunteering with skillathon or participating in that leadership conference? Whom can I ask questions of or learn from?Peyton Manning made the number 18 legendary. The Colts erected a statue this past fall and retired his number by displaying it proudly in Lucas Oil Stadium. 2018 can be your winning season. Just remember, if you fumble a time or two, throw a pick, or even drop back and have to make a few punts, the game isn’t over. Look at your team, assess what’s down fi eld, pivot, readjust if needed and evaluate and execute. And if worse comes to worse, order a Papa John’s Pizza and throw up a Hail Mary pass. It obviously works for Aaron Rodgers and the Packers (just don’t make this your game strategy).Here’s to a safe, successful and prosperous 2018 to each of you and your families! See you in Perry!

It is upon refl ecting that we sometimes truly realize the magnitude of things we really should be thankful for; the people, the pigs, and the programs making up this industry are just a few of those. As for the National Swine Registry staff, we want all of our members to make sure you know just how much we appreciate each of you, all year long. First and foremost, it is all about the people. We are so thankful to have youth in the industry who are passionate about their pig projects, but even more than that, wanting to make it a family affair. This business would not be possible without the youth and families who show up all across the country to be a part of this much larger family. We are blessed with an industry full of great fi rms backed with passionate breeders who want to develop young people, while they continually work to advance their own herd. This business would not be possible without the dedication of breeders along with the depth of swine knowledge encompassed within their network. We are fortunate to have families, fi rms, and businesses as sponsors who believe in the business and support programs such as the National Junior Swine Association. We would not be able to provide near the opportunities we do today without their sponsorship. I did mention that it was all about the people, but it would be hard for there to be a business without the pigs. It is amazing today the accessibility families have to be able to show pigs, regardless if you grew up with swine, and that is a pretty cool thing. With the growth of the youth network wanting to exhibit today, we have seen the breeder network grow with it. Like all other industries, the goal is growth and advanced quality. Breeders continue to accommodate, but the pigs have also gotten better. Lastly, it is the program in which allows us all to connect our similar interests, and to make this business cycle and grow as it does today. For without each of you being a piece of the puzzle, we couldn’t paint a whole picture. We thank you all for your enthusiasm, hard work, dedication and support as we refl ect on 2017 and wish you well in the New Year ahead!‘Tis the Season to be Thankful“As for the NSR staff, we want all of our members to make sure you know just how much we appreciate each of you, all year long.”Morgan ShraderEDITORIALMorgan Shrader | morgan@nationalswine.comNSR Director of DevelopmentYouth ViewJANUARY 2018 | SEEDSTOCK EDGE1218 Jan SE Form.indd 1212/14/2017 8:10:20 AMJANUARY 2018 | SEEDSTOCK EDGE1318 Jan SE Form.indd 1312/14/2017 8:10:21 AMHappy New Year, everyone! I hope everyone had a great holiday season. I’m sure you are, just like I am, amazed that 2017 went by so fast. At the end of every year, I look back and am amazed at how quickly the year has gone. It can make you feel old if you are not careful. As a child, I don’t remember time going by quite so fast that’s for sure! Unfortunately, time does march on, and it is time to try and make those New Year’s resolutions a reality.At the start of every year, I set my personal and professional goals for the coming year. On the personal goal list I have the usual things like lose weight, exercise more, cure cancer, and etc. Now the professional goals, are much more tangible and have a much higher chance of actually succeeding. These goals have actual milestones that I have set to give myself a specifi c point to reach for. I always try and have multiple subgoals to reach in my pursuit of the end goal. This helps keep me on track and rewards me along the way for completing said step. It can get overwhelming just focusing on the fi nal goal at the end of the road. A good example is the work my wife and I are doing to our house. Because we are cheapskates, we are trying to do the majority of the work ourselves to save on costs. This is great in theory, but life tends to get in the way. I’m one of those people who has an OCD tendency to have to complete a project from beginning to end in one go. So I get home each evening after work and tell myself I can’t start this or that project tonight because it won’t be done that same evening. Putting all those projects off until I “have time” on the weekend, just snowballs into me looking at the list and being overwhelmed with how much I have to do. ... And that is why I have a separate list for professional goals.Having a realistic, concise set of goals for the coming year for you and/or your business is just good thinking. Taking the time to really think about what you want to accomplish in the coming year is what I believe you have to do to be successful. If you don’t have the desire to improve your business or yourself, year after year, I believe that is the point at which you may start to fail. Resting on the previous year’s laurels, no matter how outstanding, is a quick way to get to Failure Town (it’s a real place, I Googled it).So, let us make that list, set the goals, drink that champagne for the New Year and try our best to make our expectations a reality. Here’s to a great 2018!Resolution To RealityResting on the previous year’s laurels, no matter how outstanding, is a quick way to get to Failure Town (it’s a real place, I Googled it).EDITORIALStephen Weintraut II | stevew@nationalswine.comNSR Director of Marketing & CommunicationsFueling CreativityJANUARY 2018 | SEEDSTOCK EDGE1418 Jan SE Form.indd 1412/14/2017 8:10:23 AMTypical Market Pig*A 282 pound live pig produces a 211 pound carcassBackfat, 10th rib 0.68 inchesLoin-eye area 7.93 sq. inchesPercent Lean 55.15%Lean meat 116.40 lbs.Carcass weight 211.00 lbs.Live weight 282.00 lbs.Data courtesy of the National Pork Board.*Figures are averages taken from actual cutting tests.

The fi rst group of pigs have arrived and the club will have 65 showpigs after all the donations come in.“We’re not sure where all they came from,” Gentry was quoted as saying. “Some are just folks who heard about our plight and wanted to donate some showpigs.”Gentry told The Telegraph of Macon that as of Nov. 26, pigs had been donated by farmers and producers from south Georgia, Indiana, North Dakota and Mississippi.Photo courtesy of The Telegraph of MaconFEB7FEB28FEB15MAR1MAR13MAR10JANUARY 2018 | SEEDSTOCK EDGE1718 Jan SE Form.indd 1712/14/2017 8:10:24 AMLARRY L.

He was edu-cated at Springfi eld Township Schools, and graduated from the former Springfi eld High School in Franklin County where he was noted for his athletic contribu-tions. After graduation he returned to the home farm in Fairfi eld, Indiana and engaged in farming and live-stock production. He produced the very fi rst artifi cial insemination Holstein dairy calf to be calved in Franklin County; a pioneering event in animal breeding back in those days improving genetic quality of livestock.John married the love of his life, Marjorie Alberta Moster in 1946. Their active partnership in marriage lasted for a strong 69 years until her death on March 22, 2014. They raised together three children, Kelly, Sheila and Bob, and were lifelong residents of Franklin County. After many years of farming John accepted an opportunity with the commercial and farm building division of the Franklin County Farm Bureau Co-Op, and eventually became the onsite crew chief and builder. Thereafter John & Marjorie managed their own independent building and painting business until their retirements.John’s life contributions added favor to his family and to the community in which he lived for so many years. He was a man of honest word spurred with grit and determination. In his younger years he enjoyed friendly conversation with people, friends and family. He enjoyed productive work, and helping people, and was known as a reliable husband, father and friend to all.Survivors include his three children and eight grand-children.
