something more than founder Harry
Hayter could have dreamed of.
The 5,5 foot by 60 foot addition to the
a foot by 64 foot original processing
plant built in 1984 brings (he total
square footage of the turkey farm
operation to 71,000 square feel.
Hayter got a humble star( in the

auction sake he purchas/xl a 10 Acro try

Miss I4w, Wiffi,j who rw,w rteide,► in

She had raised turkeys for
ilia Hy years
Fora couple of years he had helped
his neighbour in killing awl plucking
turkeys at Christmas tune and that's
where his interest in the popular fo'4 •
began.
Harry Hayter continues now as
president of the large operation with
son Tom as vice-president and
daughter Joanne Maguire as
secretary and in charge of the retail
store which is located at the front of

Ilayter's are alloted a quota of
1,300,0(10 pounds per year by the Cana -
.dian Turkey Marketing Agency.
[tarry Hayter . explains the quota
system, "The system was originated
in 1971 and was based on the best one
year of production for the years
1966-67.68. We are restricted to 69 per-
cent of our quota. Next year it is be-
ing increased to 71 percent."
Ontario has a 42 percent share of
the Canadian turkey market and pro-
ducers in thisprovince have quotas of
105 million pounds. As a somewhat
larger than average producer,
Hayter's have close to one percent of
Ontario quota among the 150 pro-
ducers in the province.
Hayter continued. "Ontario should
have a larger share of the Canadian
quota, but it's hard for the provinces
to agree. The marketing board has
been very instrumental in providing
more constant markets and prices."
In talking about the processing
plant, Tom Ilayter said, "Turkey con-
sumption increased by six percent in
1986 and I expect it will rise by
another eight percent this year.
Whole turkey sales may be down a
bit, but processed products are
becoming very popular" and selling
well.
He continued, "Turkey along with
chicken and fish are on many diet
menus. This food is easy to digest."
In the processing plant. Hayter's
produce sausage, steaks. ground
turkey. burger patties. cutlets and
schnitzel. Customers may also pur-
chase whole birds, legs. thighs,
wingtips, wingsticks, drurhsticks.

The worst year for the Hayter
turkey business was in 1971 when 9,000
toms died on range because of ex-
treme heat. Harry Hayter recalls.
"Tile start of June was very cool and
dry and Then all of a sudden the heat
come and there wasn't much we could
do about it."
A few days ago Ontario's Minister
Jack Riddell announced that Hayter
Turkey Farms were receiving a grant
in the amount of $16,413 to be used to
•
e
help improve food processing plants.
In making the announcement Rid-
dell said. 'These grants will help pro-
cessors increase exports of finished
goods. replace food imports . and
create new jobs in Ontario. When food
procjssors expand their business they
will use more locally grown products
which is good for the province's food
industry'.
Torn llayter said the recent grant
came for use -in the expansion of their
food processing plan( which is just
being completed.
