The Maschhoffs company history timeline

1956

In 1956 Wayne Maschhoff, the father of Ken and Dave, began farming with his father, Ben, who kept ten hogs.

1977

It had to expand to survive, but the price of land was escalating, making grain production quite expensive. It was no given that they would survive as hog producers, however, because according to Top Producer, 90 percent of the farmers raising hogs in 1977 would be out of the business 25 years later.

1979

In 1979, they began construction on a project that boosted the sow herd from 150 to 700.

1991

In 1991 the herd numbered 700 sows and the brothers bought out their parents.

1996

In 1996, the brothers signed on their first Production Partner.

1998

Pork prices fell in 1998, creating difficult conditions for hog producers, especially those who had expanded too quickly.

2002

To accommodate the rapid growth of its herd, the Maschhoffs built a new 10,000-sow pod in 2002.

2003

2003 New corporate headquarters opens.

2004

In June 2004 Land O'Lakes hired an investment banking firm to help in divesting the swine unit.
