John Middel has been producing pork near Rocky Mountain House since the 1995 although he owned his first sow when
he was 12 years old. He grew up on a dairy farm in Ontario and he bought a pig at the local auction, raised it to a gilt
and then walked it across the field to the neighbour’s boar. Yes, things have changed since then. Now he raises pigs to
50 pounds on the home farm and contract finishes them in Southern Alberta. From there they go to Olymel to become
pork chops. In the past he served Alberta Pork both as delegate and director and on his local church board.
Presently he serves on ALMA’s Industry Review sub-committee.

Scott was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Scott moved to Brandon, Manitoba in 1981 to attend Brandon University
and graduated in 1984 with his Bachelor of Science degree. Scott began articling with Meyers Norris Penny (now MNP) in 1984
and received his Chartered Accountant in 1988. He moved to Calgary as MNP merged into Alberta in 1989 and then moved to
Red Deer in 1992 where he still resides. Scott’s primary area of practice was with Agriculture producers and developed an interest
in the hog sector as a result of the number of producer clients he developed in that sector including a number of Hutterite
colony producers. Scott sat on the board of the Alberta Pork Congress in the late 1990’s. Scott is currently the Vice President
of Hutterite Services and Director of Livestock Services for MNP. Scott was also made a partner in 1994 with MNP.
Scott has two sons, both residing in Red Deer and he has outside interests in playing golf, curling and bagpipes.

My name is Brian Markert and I live north east of Vulcan, Alberta with my wife Shari and three kids, Ben (7), Taylor (5),
and Hudson (3). I operate Premium Farms Ltd. with my dad Murray, and brother Dave. We crop 3200 hundred acres and
run 940 sows farrow-to-finish. Before I started farming full-time, I got an Agriculture Business degree from the University of Alberta.
My vision for a profitable pork industry includes technology adoption and cooperation throughout the entire value chain: producers,
packers, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers. I believe the most important step in this process is producers working together to
ensure efficient production, a superior product and that the producers are receiving value for their product. When not farming you
will find me at the hockey rink coaching my kids’ hockey teams or in the kitchen driving my wife nuts from the mess I am making
with new food experiments. I feel privileged that I can farm in western Canada and I am passionate that I will pass that opportunity
on to generations to come, knowing that it will look very different than it does today.

I am married to Colleen and we have 5 children ages 19 - 28. We have a 400 Farrow to Finish hog farm west of Blackfalds.
I have served on various school and church boards over the years.

As a member of the WHE board I would hope to represent the views and concerns of small independent family farms.

Micheal Lives in the Peace River Country in Eaglesham Alberta. We have a mixed Farm operation and manage
a 500 farrow-to-finish loose sow housing operation and the farm feed mill.

I have a loving and understanding wife Kathy, which every pork producer needs for there have been many challenges
in our industry. I have 2 sons and 2 daughters. Nathan, Tanner, Nicole and Fayth.

I remember the first time I walked into a farrowing room of freshly born piglets the smell had me hooked. That was 29 years
ago and I still love it. Hopefully God grants me the health, strength and wisdom to continue for a few more years.

I love spending time with family and friends and when work is done my favorite place is down at the river fishing with the boys.
