Oklahoma pig farmers continue to gain national recognition, and this time the spotlight shines on Hannah Bevins. Farm Journal’s PORK editor, Jennifer Shike, recently reached out to the Oklahoma Pork team to feature Hannah as the next producer highlighted in the Barn Heroes seriessponsored by United Animal Health.

Hannah serves as a senior supervisor for Tyson Foods’ Genetic Nucleus Farm in southeast Oklahoma, where she leads a team of eight and oversees 1,300 sows. Her work spans the full production cycle, from breeding and farrowing to selecting replacement gilts for internal use and multiplier farms.

She was recognized not only for her operational excellence, but for the way she leads people. Hannah brings an energy that builds trust across her team and creates a strong culture on the farm. She often says people may come to work for a paycheck, but they stay and grow when they understand the “why.” Read Hannah’s Farm Journal’s PORK article here!

Hannah’s recognition has extended beyond the written story. Just last week, AgDay featured her in a television segment taking a closer look at her operation and leadership. Oklahoma Pork’s Shay Stegman stepped in to capture the footage working alongside Jennifer Shike to help bring the story to life.

Congratulations to Hannah on this well-deserved recognition and for representing Oklahoma so well!
