Katie Hatcher replied to Ben Pearson's discussion Hog Production
"I think it's tough to just start on your own and with grain prices, you don't make much. I have found that it's best to get a contract to grow pigs for another farm."

i'm currently a farm hand on a farm nearby. i've been building up ground to farm for myself and i'm pretty close to having enough so i can farm on own. i also have a herd of purebred simmys and clubby cows.

We are hoping to start spraying this weekend but it might be pretty muddy, so far we have been warming up into the 50-60s and then drops back down to 20-30s at night so it will be a little bit before we are planting

Hows the weather down south? Alot of people in the fields yet? We are hoping to start planting in about two weeks and we are going to start spray pre-emergence this weekend!

Hey! I raise Hamps, Durocs, and am just getting into Yorks. I have 12 sows and sell most of the pigs as feeders when they are 8 weeks and older, and a few go as show pigs for the county fair. I'm working on starting my own farm, I rent some ground and use some of the corn for feed. I dont think i want to get big into hogs, its more of just something to do until im done with school and can pickup a few hundred acres and eventually farm full time.
