Though wood has proven to be a
low-coat heat source. Herb admits
that wood-cutting chores are quite
time consuming. And time is a
precious commodity to this Berks
County pork producing family.
In addition to his work on the
farm, Herb makes time to serve as
secretary-treasurer for the Pa.
Pork Producers Council, and is a
past state director for the National
PPC.
Herb’s wife, Annamane, is also
active in pork politics. Currently
serving as secretary-treasurer for
the Porkettes, she is a past
executive board member to the
National Porkettes.
The family also finds tune to

represent the companies whose
pork producing equipment they
have found beneficial to their own
operation. Two of these companies
are AAA Associates, a Michigan
based maker of ventilating
equipment, and ADA Enterprises,
a Minnesota manufacturer of
flooring and related products.
With today’s pork producers
caught in the squeeze between
rising costs and narrowing profit
margins, finding the most efficient
methods for producing each pound
of pork becomes the answer to
survival. And Schick Farms, along
with many other producers, is
finding geothermal technology to
be the answer to its efficiency

c. Make regular use of soil test
and, whenever possible, use plant and
manure analyses to determine
nutrient requirements. Follow
agronomic recommendations
closely when applying nutrients,
taking into account all potential
sources of fertilizer elements (soil,

d. Properly calibrate and
operate equipment for applying
pesticides, fertilizers and other
amendments, so that correct
amounts are delivered. Try to
avoid steep slopes and areas
directly adjacent to streams.
e. Use soil conservation
techniques where applicable.
Minimize bare-soil conditions by
keeping crop residues or a growing
crop in place as long as possible.
f. Don’t farm “sensitive” areas,
those with lightly erodible soils,
steep slope, or locations adjacent
to streams.
