The Rural Voice, 1999-06, Page 5Profit$
The emphasis in pork production may be on fast
growth and on industrial -like uniformity, but Ron
and Trudy Kassies just aren't going along. From
their outdoor, self -designed finishing facility to
their use of
homeopathy to
their goal of
selling more and
more of their
production
directly to
consumers, they
have taken a
road that is
decidedly their
own. They tell us
about their
operation.
