In the June article of National Hog Farmer, Valerie Duttlinger and Kasey Sheldon talk about the components of organizational health within barns.  These concepts can be universal and not just specific to the swine industry.  In this article they state that,  “Eighty percent of what happens in sow farms is the same, while the other 20% is what sets apart the high-performing farms. The 20% that is different today is about organizational health.  Change is inevitable and can be challenging, but a healthy organization can navigate those challenges together, bouncing back from a negative situation more quickly, resulting in lower production and economic losses. Commit today to do the 20% better than the rest to make your farm the place where everyone wants to work.”  Click here to read the full article.
