Canadians Fly to County to Compare Cage Ventilation
Canadians visit farms near Akron and another in Penn Township to study ventilation in large cage houses. Claude Uess Farn operates a 10 000-bird facility using three Vent-O-Matics and two boosters for year round control, with reduced floor space per bird in hot weather. Sylvan Beiler’s farm uses a similar ventilation approach with a different air movement system. The trip included other farm observations and a Pennsylvania Dutch all you can eat meal. Nine million adults are enrolled in some form of night instruction.
