A wholly owned subsidiary of WH Group, Smithfield will be including three farms in Arizona, California and Wyoming, in its hog production division.

With more than three decades of experience in the food industry, Smithfield’s packaged meats operations vice-president Kenneth Baptist will be leading the Farmer John operations, which includes both the Farmer John and Saag’s Specialty Meats brands.
