The sewage removal
procedure involved in
keeping such a massive
layout clean is
fascinating. From the
collecting gutters built
under the floors, the
liquid manure is pumped
to three tanks Located
behind the barn. The
largest, above -ground
tank holds 300,000
gallons, with the other
two below -surface tanks
holding 160,000 and 80,000
gallons. Two or three
times a year, long
drainage pipes are
hooked into the tanks and
extended out into the
fields. The sewage is then
pumped onto the land just
like any other irrigation
system.
A GRATEFUL
MAN
Harry Burgsma's
swine operation isfinally
beginning to show some
profit and he's pleased
with the way it has
worked out. When he
entered the business, he
didn't know much about
it.
"Someone told me that
having no experience
with swine is the best way
to have it when you're
s.tarting -he says. ---
"That way, you're not
stuck with old ideas, or
• are-unwiliing-to-change." ..
And though he's been
successful, Harry is
adamant that his has not
been a rags -to -riches
e
success story. He has
only been one part of an
enterprise that owes its
accomplishments to a lot
of other people.
Harry ,is thankful to
God for having been
blessed with good health.
He's thankful to his new
country that has allowed
him so much opportunity.
And he gives much of the
credit to his wife Gerda,
his five boys, Ron, Hugh,
Bernie, Wayne and
Jeffrey and to his hired
men.
"When you decided to
go big," he says, "You
have to have good people
around you."
Everyone involved
works hard, but there is
time for other things. In
summer, the men begi
at 7:00 a.m. Monday o
Friday and quit at 5:30.
They work a half-day on
Saturdays, and take turns
looking after . the
operation the rest of the
weekend. During seeding
and harvest, the hours
are longer, but everyone
pitches in.
In winter, work begins
at 7:30 in the morning and
ends at 5:30 at night.
Harry says he isn't
likely to, expand into any
more areas than he's in
_now, and -.even -talks about
returning to carpentry as
a hobby.
People have -asked-me_-.
"why I went so big inthe
farming," he says. "I
don't know. I guess I just
have a Lot of energy."

HURON COUNTY
MVCA hires 22
summer students
To help relieve the
unemployment problem
among the young people
in the province, the
Provincial Government
granted 16.1 million
dollars to the Youth

is the assistance the
Authorities receive from

provide courtes-y-vehicles.

staff. Without this help
from Ford, much of the
work planned could not
be carried out.

were
were received for the 22
positions at M.V.C.A.
Where possible, students
from the local area, are
to be hired. Although this
is not always possible,

of the Authority's
watershed area.

infra -red photography
interpretation as well as
mapping for the master
plans of the area.
Carol, Ken Karges, the
audio-visual technician,
and Marilyn Grainger,
the assistant information -
education technician,
have been working on
designing and writing the
information for the
general brochure.
11farilyn is also respon-
sible for information
releases to < the
_nesjapers, while Ken is
working on slide filing
and organizing a
presentation to be used as
an education tool.
