The Sunny-Craft sale was a
complete dispersal of Stauffer’s
herd. Barbara said it seemed it
was the right time for them to sell,
thinking that they were at a break
even point. They had to decide to
get bigger or sell now. After the
sale, the Stauffers plan to review
their economic situation and
decide where to go from there.
Barbara expressed an interest in
returning to dairy fanning some
time in the future. In the mean
time, they plan to plant crops this
spring on the farm they lease from
Clarence Stauffer, Earl’s father.
They also raise 26,000 broilers, for
contract five times per year.
Stauffer who was elected as
