featured chickens, goats,

Gettysburg allowed county
residents to tour their
facilities free on Tuesday,
reported Wolf at the
banquet.
Wayne Cluck, represen
ting Gettysburg Kiwanis,
stated Kiwanians this year
were again proud to be the
national sponsors of Farm-
City Week. Kiwanis feel
eliminating the misun
derstanding between far
mers and their urban
businessmen by bringing
them together is an im
portant goal of Farm City
Week.
John Peters representing
the county’s fanners felt
there was great in
terdependence between
farm and urban population.
“We need you to keep our
county’s farms operating.
Banks, health services,
supermarkets, machinery
dealers, clothing stores, oil
companies are just ja few
businesses today’s farmer
needs to produce the
necessary food and fiber to
feed this country and the
world”. Peters stated. He
reported Adams County
produces more fruit than any
other county in the United
States and is one of the top
ten counties in turkey,
broiler, eggs, dairy, small
grains, corn, and beef
production in Pennsylvania
even though it ranks 44th in
land area.

This year’s Farm City

in cooperation with the

England. The U.S. market is
largely fresh, while it’s 70
per cent frozen in the
Queen’s territories. All
chilling in Great Britain is
done by air, in contrast to
water cooling in America.
An estimated 360 million
broilers are processed an
nually in the United
Kingdom.
“The U.S. poultryman has
himself geared to grain
prices,” one of the visitors
observed, noting that this
isn’t so in his homeland.
“Grain prices don’t vary all
that much in Great Britain,”
he explained. Also, there’s
more private enterprise in
the United States, which
allows for a few more
economic formulas than
what might be found in Great
Britain.
Claiming the distinction of
being the world’s biggest egg
producer is the corporation
of W. and J.B. Eastwood,
Ltd. Some facts about their
gigantic operation include:
Six million laying hens,
which comprise 18 per cent
of the entire egg industry in
Great Britain. A weekly kill
of 850,000 broilers accounts
for 15 per cent of the coun
try’s total. All told, they
produce more than 40 million
broilers per year.
A fully integrated com
pany, Eastwood has its own
docks at the harbor, its own
transportation facilities, its
own feed mill, and much
more. An interesting fact
about the milling business is
that they process 8000 tons
per week, but don’t sell a
gram of it. All those birds eat
an awful lot. Eastwood also
has its own construction
company to go to work

Shertzer, Millersville; Ray
Caldwell, Millersville; Galen
Long, Columbia; and Daryl
Hershey, Millersivlle.
On the trip out, the various
groups will be stopping at
points of interest along the
way. Several popular spots
are the Air Force Museum at
Dayton, Ohio; Indianapolis
Speedway; Mark Twain’s
home in Hannibal, Mo.; the
Harry Truman Library
Museum, Independence
Mo.; the Linton Charolais
Farm, Mo.; and Purina
Farms, Grays Summit, Mo.

whenever new buildings are
needed. Its land holdings add
up to approximately 15,000
acres. In addition to all of
this, the firm kills 450 pigs
per week and maintains a
herd of 1300 sows.
And that’s not all.
Eastwood Limited
produces its own boxes and
sells its own products,
whether it be broilers, eggs,
red meat, or what have you.
They’ve got breeders and
hatcheries and make good
use of recycling technology.
On the latter, it was
reported that British
poultrymen receive less
static from their government
and the public than Yankee
chicken farmers. Using
“wastes” is widely practiced
and accepted. Dried poultry
manure is frequently used as
a protein substitute, as are
the wastes from processing
houses.
Commenting on' the
buildings, the foreigners said
Americans spend more
money on their poultry
houses. “Aluminum siding is
too expensive in Britain,”
said one, while another
nodded in quick agreement.
Two-story houses are
unheard of. Fuel is con
sidered a bargain here,
compared to prices in
Europe, where a gallon of
gasoline sells for ap
proximately $1.20.
A final comment was
made on exports. Great
Britain does have an export
market and it’s unique in
that a council of the broiler
industry takes care of these
matters. The income from
sales abroad is therefore not
exclusive to any particular
firm, but is instead a venture
in which all members share.
