Profile Andy Durand
Andy Durand
"Farming -that's my life - I love it,"
states Andy Durand, federation president
for Hay township.
Andy has been elected
regional director for South Huron.
Andy and his wife Sharon and their tour
children maintain an operation that
includes 90 sows and a feeder barn that
holds 350 pigs. "If the price of pigs stays
the way they are though," he says, "I'II
cut my sow herd in half".
On 250 acres that he owns, as well as 66
acres that he rents, Andy grows corn,
wheat and mixed grain- 40 acres is set
aside for red kidney beans which he has
grown for six consecutive years.
The Durand farm is the original family
farm and he was actually born there; his
parents presently live just down the road.
He has always worked on the farm but
spent a total of seven winters working out.
"Anything that required a strong back and
a weak mind", he laughingly explains.
