Since the graph lines go only to 90% production many of you are having to extend the lines in order to maintain accurate weekly records. For some, like the H. Poultry Farm, that can be a real chore when production remains above 90% for over 13 weeks! Please bear with us until we can supply you with more accurate graphing charts.” Harvey Z.
