In eastern South Dakota, 98 percent of farms are family-owned. Farmers like Morgan Kontz understand the value of technology in reaching consumers.
She documents her experiences on the farm through social media, and on her blog “Stories of a First Generation Farm Wife” at sdfarmwife.com. As Ag United’s featured farmer she joins us this month, sharing two of her favorite harvest time crock pot recipes.
Pulled Pork
Ingredients:
5 lb boneless pork butt shoulder
1.5 tsp paprika
2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 C water
Favorite sandwich rolls
Favorite BBQ sauce
Directions:
Put the roast in a crock pot.
Mix all ingredients together and then rub over the entire roast.
Add two cups of water to the crock pot and put on low for eight hours.
When the pork is done pull it from the crock pot and shred it with a fork.
Dump back in the crock pot and give a good stir. It will keep well for hours on warm.

“I love this pulled pork recipe because it’s so easy, simple, and for me, a quick meal to put together to deliver to the field. It’s one of my husband’s favorite recipes. And he requests it every fall when it’s time to pull the crops from the field.”
