The Agricultural Technology Division and its students are proud to be leaders in the production of barrows and gilts for 4-H and FFA Youth projects. NIACC has been producing Champion Pigs for fairs and swine shows since 1983. For the past twenty years, the majority of these pigs are sold in one of the "Pigs In the Purple Sales" held several times each year on the NIACC campus. The farm has produced more than 400 Champions, Reserve Champions and class winners at all levels of competition, with pigs selling to 11 states. NIACC bred and raised show pigs are for sale year around.
