Barrett Eller has a long history in the industry and community of the swine industry. His experience started with New Fashion as a Safety Manager, then stepped away for a few years in which he worked for a mining company, and then came back to New Fashion Pork as more of a Human Resources Manager and Operation Improvement Role. Now Barrett is now the Director of Sales for Swine Technologies. Our host, Dr. Casey Bradley, and Barrett connect over their history at New Fashion Pork, even though it was at different times. The discussion includes components of worker safety, continuous improvement, and employee culture. All producers can relate to the banter about wearing rubber boots for 8+ hours on concrete floors. Barrett suggests that producers get caught up in the risk-reward equation before making changes that could lead to improvement. Also, many producers need to dial into their metrics and what are the highest priorities to truly drive continuous improvement and the culture on the farm. The conversation further dives into the comfort levels of technology and how to change your culture to adapt technology to drive efficiencies. Barrett mentions that is critical to provide continuous value to your team on the inside versus always looking outside of your organization for the next hire to breed the culture and pride that will ultimately seep out into the community. He also touches on the fact that the TN60 program is not always the long-term solution for labor but needs to develop the pool within our communities.
