Iowa hog farmers switch to shrimp farming in farm pivot
The Reed family in Washington Iowa left pork in 2023 and started a saltwater shrimp operation in a former sow barn. Guided by Midland Co founder Jackson Kimle the project uses algae based water treatment to recycle nutrients, producing shrimp in 40 000 head pools with harvests building from 200 to 400 pounds per batch. The venture aims to expand beyond the pilot and reach profitability in about five years.
