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.
