The Rural Voice, 1978-12, Page 6A revised cookbook is available through the supermarkets and
anyone may write to the Poultry Products Institute for
promotional material on turkeys.
"With the higher price of turkeys lately the consumers are still
buying because it is still cheaper than a lot of other products they
could be buying." Mr. Hayter said.
The future for turkey producers looks good right now. Mr.
Hayter's son is presently working on his second year of a four
year program at Guelph. He is interested in Animal and Poultry
Science and hopes to get a job on a farm.
"I am surprised at how so many young people are interested in
agriculture" Mr. Hayter said. Mr. Ha.yter has just recently
hired a Guelph graduate.
The Hayter farm also is into beef production and the operation
entails a lot of work as well as planning.
When asked if he ever thought the operation would grow from
200 birds on a mixed farm to the massive operation he runs now,
Harry Hayter chuckles and shakes his head.
"One thing leads to another." he said. "Before you know it
you have become so deeply involved it's hard to imagine it any
other way."

A Practical Work. Devoted to:
Agriculture and Mechanics. Fruit Growing and Gardening.
Livestock, Business Principles. Home Life.

Happiness, On The Farm.
The book was printed in Brantford, Ontario. by Bradley,
Garretson & Co. in 1880.
From time to time we hope to print some excerpts from the
book. not only to show the advances made in farming during the
past century. but also to show those farming practises that have
not changed or very little.
This month we chose the manner in which turkeys were raised
