For higher production... company’s more than 20 existing models, except that no built-in manure pit is included. The new models are designed to be used with a concrete or concrete block manure pit. AH “Castle” models up to now have included a 2-foot-deep manure pit built into the structure at the factory, according to John Graves, who directs marketing operations for all Agstar brand buildings and livestock feeding, watering, and handling equipment. The new “pitless’ models, Graves said, are in response to the needs of producers who want to build their own manure pit, perhaps with somewhat larger capacity than is provided in the regular models. Both types of structure are available in either 12-foot wide or 24-foot-wide models, in lengths up to 50 feet. The narrower models are each delivered by one truck to the purchaser’s farm and installed on concrete slab or manure pit. The 24-foot-wide models are delivered in two 12-foot-wide sections by two trucks and assembled ready for use. With both types of buildings, all feeders, waterers, heaters, ventilation, plumbing, and electrical wiring is factory installed. The purchaser need only connect to outside water and electrical lines to start using the building. The company maintains an extensive distributor network for its buildings. Distributors sell and service the structures on the local level. Additional information on the complete AGSTAR “Castle” line of buildings is available from local distributors or by writing to Star Agri Products, P.O. Box 115, Goshen, Indiana 46526. Models include sow farrowing buildings, pig and calf nurseries, combination farrowing and pig nurseries, hog finishing, and combination nursery and finishing models. \\ i ,\l' < I \ "t i '< .A ».
