Overview of Eichelberger Farms

In Wayland, Iowa you will find the heart of Eichelberger Farms, Inc (EFI). We are a swine production company that has grown from 120 sows in Iowa to nearly 60,000 sows spread across Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri. The company was founded by Dave and Nancy Eichelberger and continues to be family owned.

Piglets weaned from sow farms are raised by 250 farmers/producers located primarily in the Southeastern quadrant of Iowa. The farmer/producer owns the finishing buildings, provides the caretaking labor, and utilizes the manure as fertilizer. EFI provides the pig, feed and nutrition, and health support. Animals are harvested at 3 customer packing facilities located in Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri.

The company has 2 subsidiaries: Eichelberger Milling, Inc, and Eichelberger Transportation, LLC. The milling company produces 300,000 tons of complete feed per year — approximately 1/2 of the company's total use. The transportation company operates a fleet of 15 livestock trucks and trailers, and 6 feed delivery units.

Our company is unique due to the family-oriented workplace, the commitment to improve the communities in which we live and work, and the empowerment we give employees to accept responsibility and help achieve our goals. 

We are excited to offer several summer internships. These include: Swine Production, Feed Mill, Business/Accounting, and Human Resources. Information regarding these internships can be found on our website listed below.
