Lincoln Langhorst
General Manager, Wakefield Pork

Growing up in Agriculture and learning all the tasks that go along with raising pigs, Lincoln learned at a very young age what it takes to be involved in the industry. The insight gained as an adolescence allowed Lincoln to learn the operational aspects of farming but also changing technology and practices of modern agriculture. Upon earning a bachelor’s degree Lincoln worked off the farm in the logistics industry in Minneapolis for some time while earning his MBA. In 2008 Lincoln returned to the family business and now handles the sales, marketing and risk management roles of the organization as well as any operational responsibilities while serving as the General Manager. Lincoln and his wife Jackie reside near the “home farm” in North Mankato, MN along with their 2 sons Graham and Mason.
