Bernie Denomme, who now operates 425 acres, along Highway 21 about a mile north of St. Joseph worked as a plumber for Stade and Weido of Zurich Until he decided to purchase 50 acres of land 14 years ago. The first barn was built in the first year to accom- modate 5,000 laying hens and an addition was put on two years later for another 5,500 layers. Two years ago. Denomme constructed a barn for day- old chicks and now raises enough pullets for his own needs as well as for another area egg producer, Ron Overholt. The pullet barn can handle 16,800 birds. Denomme's basic quota from the Ontario Egg Producers Marketing Board was 10,500. He added, "These quotas are changed quite often with cutbacks. Also quotas may be leased for 12.50 per bird and I was also able to buy another 1,- 000. My basic quota is now about 13,800." The baby chicks of the Hyline and H and N variety are purchased" from McKinle,� ljtCheries of Zurich When a day old. The St. Joseph farmer said quota Controls are good for the egg producer. He added. "The board sets the prices and they are bas- ed 'on our costs with a fair profit base. They are good right now." Eggs are picked up twice weekly at the Denomme farm with half going to Maple Leaf Egg in Toronto and the balance to Maple Lynn Farms in Strathroy. In an attempt to cut the current surplus, Denomme said the egg board is paying some producers to stay out of the business for a short time. He continued, "This program allows a farmer to get rid of his older hens a lit- tle earlier and he is paid for the profit he would have nor- mally made. I emptied out two years ago." The average time of production for a flock of lay- ing hens is about 13 months. Denomme said he has not tried the moulting method to allow a flock to produce a se- cond year. but. knows of one product that has been successful with the moulting process. Denomme produces all of the feed required by his flocks and has his own mill to process the fded. He add- ed, "Building my own mill is the best thing I have ever done. None of the feed ever leaves the farm. One saving is in trucking which is 14 cents per bushel for Corn." The present flock of Denomme layers went into the cages which house two birds each on June 28 and have produced at an average of 74-75 percent with a peak at abouf 90 percent. Denomme added, "For well over six months they produc- ed at 85 percent." • Egg board employees visit the Denomme farm and all producers every two months and keep a very close count on the number of birds in production. Denomme's ,wife Annette and three sons, Michael, Kevin and Danny are in charge of gathering the eggs. Michael and Kevin are students at South Huron District High School while Danny attends' Ecole St. Marie Separate School at $t. Joseph The eggs are gathered once a day during the fall and winter and twice a day during the warmer summer months. UfftaatN- �n 4 at{g 4 • wa i .a1 4. r ShuraGain beef production.
