The sign in front of one of the three farm houses on the 250 acre property at Lot 14 and part of Lot 13 says Harglenn Holsteins, Harvey Hodgins and son Glenn have been in part- nership since 1976. At the present time the Harglenn operation is milking 50 cows which produce more than 90 percent of their allotted milk quota. Harvey Hodgins said, "We hit 92 percent of our quota last year and I would hope to hit the 95 mark in 1981." The Harglenn quota from the Ontario Milk Marketing Board is 546 litres fluid and 140,000 litres industrial. On the subject of milk prices, Hodgins said, "Prices are okay. We get an increase every once and Joan Hodgins and Sussex Comets awhile, but, consumers don't seem to realize that most of that is taken up in extra production costs." Milk is stored in a tank which has a capacity of 7,200 pounds and is picked up by truck every second day. All of the feed for the some 170 head of cattle housed on the Hodgins farms is home grown on their 250 acres and another 115 acres which are rented. Only con- centrates and calf feeds are purchased. Some winter wheat and white beans are grown in order to provide the proper soil rotation. Corn, mixed grain and hay produces the bulk of the yearly feed needs. Glenn Hodgins added, "We may sell a little corn, but, only if it is surplus." All bull calves are kept and raised through to market weight. Most heifers are kept to bolster the Harglenn breeding stock. rfarvey Hodgins added, "We may have a few heifers to sell this year. We lost four cows last year and that's the most in the 21 years I have been in business." While most of the breeding is done artificially, the Hodgins have retained one of their own bulls Ted Babmuir George. An addition of 54 by 52 feet was made to the barn in 1980 at a cost of $65,000 on the farm formerly owned by Harvey's father Roy. Glenn's wife Joan has a farm project of her own. She has a flock of 440 Red Comet Sussex laying hens which at the present time are Please turn to page 16 Harvey and Glenn Hodgins with new calf and bull A 01 *Mt Eleven living reasons for choosing Shur -Gain Pig Starter.
