The farmer might not reach out as quickly to expand and hire more help.” Despite the increase in con tracting in recent years, Burkholder doesn’t see the hog business going the way of the poultry industry. “Chicks can be produced in a more mechanical way,” he says. “With sows you always have a variety of problems.” Ken Kephart concurs. “Getting a chicken from egg to broiler is much different. It takes a special kind of an individual to want to do a good job farrowing sows.” That’s what John Henkel, an independent Yorkshire breeder from Strasburg, finds appealing I NEW HOLLAND Kl SALES STABLES, INC. 12 REGISTERED HOLSTEIN COWS, FRESH AND SPRINGERS, SELECTED FROM ONE HERD FROM BRADFORD COUNTY.

Of course, there’s also the profit motive. “If you want to take the risk, you stand to make more money if you do it youself,” Henkel sums up. Like most independents, Henkel believes that pressure from in tegrators will threaten operations such as his in the future. But most contractors contend that they aren’t out to eliminate independent operators. “I think there’s always going to be a place for the in dependents, but they’re going to have to become the best,” says White Oak’s Mike Pflieger. “They’re going to have to be thinking marketing all the time. ” CONSIGNED BY FRANK MASE.
