A message for you from the Purdue Extension Farm Stress Team: YOU MATTER!
If you’re having a hard time and feeling stressed out, you may be searching for a reason to keep going. Hope for the future generations in agriculture is always something to hold on to.

In case you were wondering… Darla is in Charleston, South Carolina, home of the 2023 American Association of Meat Processors annual convention!
What a fun, historical, and exciting destination for an AAMP convention! This week Darla and AAMP Convention Manager, @nikicloud78 are seeing all the sights and sounds this great city has to offer. Then in a few months they will reconvene with a Convention Planning Committee to hash out the locations, events, educational sessions, demos, and details of the 2023 convention.
Please plan to attend this AAMP Convention, July 13-15, 2023. Darla is going to be President of AAMP. How fun! 🏖
This is very exciting! Some of you might have met Sam at the AAMP conventions. Sam has been a personal friend of mine for years. He is a very experienced meat writer. Recently, he was the Editor of Independent Processor magazine.
Sam is very tech savvy. With his intelligence in the meat field and technology capabilities we are sure he will do great things as the Communications Manager of AAMP.
Sam is preceding Diana Dietz who had also done a fantastic job supporting IMPPA as well as the AAMP meat packers & suppliers.
Congratulations to Sam!
The American Association of Meat Processors (AAMP) welcomes Sam Gazdziak to the position of Communications Manager.
Gazdziak, of Johns Creek, Georgia, brings more than 20 years of communications experience to the position. He is the former editor-in-chief of the Independent Processor, a bi-monthly trade publication that covers the meat industry.
In his new position at AAMP, he will oversee the association's printed publications, e-newsletters, website, social media channels and advertising. He will also serve as the media relations contact.
“We are thrilled to welcome Sam to the AAMP staff,” said Chris Young, executive director. “Sam's prior extensive knowledge of the meat industry, along with his skilled journalism abilities, will be a tremendous asset to our organization.”
Gazdziak is a graduate of the University of Kansas, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism. He enjoys spending his free time with his family and also writes for his baseball history blog, RIP Baseball.
Gazdziak replaces Diana Dietz, who resigned from the association in March after seven years in the position. He officially began work at AAMP on March 28.

Rusty and Ronda Oliver from Oliver’s Butcher Shop stopped in this weekend to visit fellow IMPPA plants, Merkley & Sons in Jasper, IN and Sander Family Meat Market in St. Anthony, IN. We have so much to learn from each other. Visiting other packing plants and asking questions is a great way to improve your business. Thank you to the Sander & Merkleys for being great ambassadors of IMPPA. 🐷🐮
Some pretty wonderful collaboration is going on between @infarmbureau, Prosperity Ag, and @indiana_meat_packers.
Stay tuned for some updates on how we can all work together to make Indiana Agriculture strong!
