PACMA-FACTS The following market is supplied by PACMA-FACTS, a direct- marketing organization affiliated with the Pennsylvania Farmers’ Association. Participating poultrymen are members of PACMA, which employs a fowl marketing agent - The Farmers’ Agricultural Cooperative Trading Society (FACT) - to sell members’ fowl. PACMA works directly. with the PFA poultrymen in the program. Farm point prices prevailing for fowl to be marketed by members during the week of July 11 were too few to report. In the 30 years that Moyer’s has been serving area poultrymen there has been a constant updating of their product and services. One recent improvement has been the use of the automated “Chick-Go-Round” handling system. With this system the chicks are serviced (debeaked and vaccinated) with greater speed and accuracy, and on their way to your farm with less delay and handling. 30 YEARS OF HATCHING PROGRESS CHICKS, INC.
