The Rural Voice, 1983-04, Page 72HIGHEST YEARLY AVERAGE INDEX In an effort to promote greater inter- est and concern for producing the lean pork which is demanded by consumers. the P.C.P.P. Assoc. has for the past few years given recognition to those producers who market hogs with the highest yearly average index. (For those readers unfamiliar with the system, high index means less fat.) These producers are obviously concerned about the quality of meat they produce and deserve a pat on the back for their achievements. This year's winners were honoured at the P.C.P.P. annual meeting: In the under 500 hogs shipped cate- gory; James Porter (107.4), Bruce Lin - stead (107), Wayne Debus (106.7), Nyal Dotzert (106.5) and Murray Bancroft (106.4). In the 500-1000 hogs shipped cate- gory; Rudy Van Dieren (106.9), Mrs. Rudy Koert (106.6), Knud and Ralph Peterson (106.6), Gerald Vandewalle (106.5) and Leo Kroonen (106.3). In the 1000 plus category; Alvin Dow (106.8), Robert Stephen (106.7) Arnold Van Morsel (106.4), Van Loon Farms (106.3), Adrian Kerstens (106.2).
