The Rural Voice, 1997-10, Page 5Which direction?
For the past couple of years there's been a debate
among pork producers, some convinced the best
profits were with the new Segregated Early
Weaning management and some determined the
efficient farrow -to -
finish systems still
held the best
chance of profit.
Turns out,
according to a
recent conference
in Shakespeare,
that the chance of
profitability is
equal and the
reason to choose
a system is for
other factors.

With prices for hardwood lumber rising, there has been new
interest in woodlots. But the Craig family has been making a
living from woodlots for 131 years through their sawmill
operation at Auburn in Huron County. Sustainable forestry is a
must in their business.
