Today’s profit-minded poultry and
livestock producers must think in
terms of an automatic system.
Big Dutchman pioneered the
system concept for one reason: it is
the most profitable and reduces
costs for you.
“System thinking” can help you
I plan your way around problems
: before you begin building, or it can
j help you automate away problems in
your present buildings.
Hershey Equipment Co. is geared
to provide all components of the
system, which assures that the
pieces fit together in the most
profitable package reducing costs
