One of the top egg
producers in Huron county is
an avid supporter of the
Ontario Egg Producers
Marketing Board.
Marcel Verlinde, who
operates a 100 acre farm
along with 9,000 laying hens
in Hay township, just north
of Hensall says, "At one time
I was in favour of free en-
terprise, but, I was wrong.
You can't do anything
without controls. "I have
faith in the egg marketing
board,
"Until the marketing
board was formed in 1970 or
19'71, things were bad in the
layer business," Verlinde
continued.
Verlinde who came to
Canada in 1949 from his
native land in Belgium
started his layer barn and
business in two stages.
He started in 1967 and
completed it two years later.
The barn which now houses
9,000 layers is 286 feet long
and 32 feet wide. It has a
capacity of 12,000 birds, but,
Verlinde is limited to his
present 9,000 layers by the
marketing board quota.
The layers are housed two
birds to a cage with four
rows going the entire 286 foot
length of the barn.
His present hens pur-
chased at the age of 20 weeks
from McKinley Hatcheries
in Zurich are the H and N
breed and are in their second
term of laying.
Verlinde schedules two
nine month terms of laying
for his hens with about 10
week period of moulting in
between.
At the moment they are
producing about 7,000 eggs
per day. The Hensel] area
farther says, "I can expect
the egg production during
the second term of laying to
be about 10 percent lower
than the first period."
The present Verlinde flock
of layers will be sold and the
• barn cleared out in early
December of this year, It
will be left empty for six to
seven weeks as Marcel
Verlinde and his wife
Christiane take a well
deserved holiday,
4 new flock will be pur-
chased from McKinley's in
late February or early
March.
Ail eggs from the Verlinde
farm are purchased by L.H.
Gray of Ridgetown and go
the the Seaf or th Co-
Operative. They are picked
up each Tuesday and Friday,
The current price for
grade "A" large eggs at the .
farm is 82 cents per dozen.
The deduction for the
Ontario Egg Producers
marketing Board is fivecents
a dozen.
AU the feed for the
Verlinde layers is grown on
his own farm with about 50
acres each in corn and mixed
grain. •
He has his own corn dryer,
grinder and mixer, so the
feed does not leave the farm.
In turn the manure is
returned to the fields.
Verlinde' added, "I use
very little fertilizer. I buy a
little nitrate, that's all." ,
Verlinde says the cage
type of layer housing is much
better for disease control, He,
said, "The cost of medicine
for my type of housing is
abouthalf of what it would be
for floor housing. There is no
need for worm control.
He Said he is happy with
the size of his present
operation. "It's just what my
wife and I can handle quite
nicely."
The Verlinde's have two
daughters, Dianne and
Joanne. Both are ac-
complished musicians.
Dianne, a grade 12 student at
South Huron District High
School teaches accordion
and will be taking her
students to Sarnia in the near
future to compete in the
Lambton Music Festival.
Joanne also plays the
accordion. She is in grade 7
at St. Boniface Separate
School in Zurich)
