FEEDER PIGS 633. Compared
with 707 head last week and 1196 a
est lineup ever. Dependable, high
performance hybrids of the “World
Yield Leader” family.
1981 was our biggest sales year
ever. Why are farmers planting more
FunKls G and less of some other
brands? Because they appreciate
what happens when they put Funk’s
G-Hybrids to work on their farms.
We’re “Makin’ Our Move" in the
1980’s. Strongly upward. The 80’s
could become bigger crop years for
