Our present plants for dairy and hog feed are old and inefficient. That comes with wear and tear of production over the years. With this new facility we are upgrading our technology with a network of programmable logic controllers that will be efficient and give us control over every phase of the milling operation.” The new 150’ high structure with 28,000 square feet of floor space will have a capacity to produce 75 tons of feed per hour. The cost of the project is set at $6.5 million.

Lutz, Chairman of the Berks County ASC Committee suggests that farmers obtain pre measurement of their acreages. To be eligible for price support loans, target prices and other farm program benefits, he said producers must report actual planted acreages.

To be assured that program requirements are met, producers must plant within the stakes that are placed when the land is pre-measured. After planting, program participants are required to report their crop acres to ASCS. Lutz said pre-measurement is important in helping farmers plan which land to devote to the acreage conservation reserve and which fields to plant.
