With an animal science degree from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville and 12 years of experience at Pipestone, Hannah Jasper has worn many hats across the company. She began her career in biosecurity, safety, and animal welfare, and after gaining valuable experience in several roles, she found her passion on the nutrition team, where she now serves as a Nutrition Specialist.
In her role, she primarily supports Pipestone’s managed feed mills, working closely with mill employees and shareholders to keep operations running smoothly. From ingredient management and data entry to troubleshooting issues as they arise, her work is a vital link between feed mills and pig owners. “Communication and problem solving are a big part of our day,” she explains. “We’re here to make sure farmers have the right diets in place at the best value for their operation.”
She finds the greatest reward in the teamwork and sense of shared purpose her role brings each day. “Our team is always willing to help—not only our customers, but each other,” she says. That commitment to collaboration and doing what’s best for the farmer is what makes her proud of her work. Looking back, she’s grateful for the variety of opportunities Pipestone has provided. “It’s been rewarding to learn different things and grow into new roles over the years,” she reflects. “Even if the work is behind the scenes, it plays a key role in helping farmers succeed.”
