Going Hog Wild

Martin County is the largest pork-producing county in Minnesota, and to represent the agriculture industry, Jeff Rouse developed Going Hog Wild in Martin County. This project spotlights our businesses and organizations, features our local artists, and honors our pork industry through multiple concrete hog statues as an attraction for tourists, visitors, and the citizens of our community.
