5 good reasons to
put your eggs
in our basket
As egg producers, you know there
are a lot of loose ends to tie together
in order to run a successful busi
ness. “Where should 1 buy my
pullets?”, “Am I buying the best
feeds?”, “Am I paying the right price?”,
“Where will I market my eggs?”,
and so on and so on.
Plain and Fancy Ag Enterprises,
with main offices in Elizabethtown,
offer you a complete service
oriented production and egg
marketing program that not only
answers these questions, but guaran
tees the solutions,- leaving you with
more important things to do like
deciding how to spend your money.
Here’s a quick look at Plain and
Fancy’s total profits-oriented
program:
1. Complete line of specially
formulated pullet feeds. Backed
by many years of research and
field testing and our nationally known
nutritionist, we have produced
feeds with unequalled results.
