INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—Joe Tinsman’s family got into the pork business about 10 years ago, more as an avocation than an industry. “It started with the kids showing pigs in 4-H. We figured we could raise them for less than we could buy them,” Tinsman told The Epoch Times. The Tinsmans, appropriately enough, live in Farmland, Indiana. They’re first-generation pork producers and are small by design, between 40 and 50 head at a time.
