William Murdock Wynn of the Colquitt County FFA Chapter in Norman Park, Ga., works on his family’s farrow-to-wean operation that has grown to 2,500 sows. He manages the breeding of the sows, cares for them during gestation and farrowing, and then cares for the pigs until they are weaned at 21 days of age and shipped to a nursery. Wynn knows so much about the operation that he is now able to train new employees. He is supported by his parents, Penny and Ronnie, and his FFA advisors, Adrienne Smith, Stacy Beacham, Steve Bass and Gene Hart. This award is sponsored by Provimi North America, Inc.
