Morgan’s Pulled Pork
Spring is a time when the days get warmer, and we all try to spend a bit more time outside. Rather than spending hours inside preparing meals, we’d all rather be outdoors. It’s also a hectic time across South Dakota as farmers get busy prepping equipment and making plans for their return to the fields. The state’s soybean farmers work diligently to produce healthy food for the people and animals who call South Dakota home.
Not only are farmers experts at growing food, many are equally talented at cooking it. Here is a South Dakota farm family favorite that stand the test of time tantalizing tastebuds.
