Mark Hershey, Lebanon County owner of a mixed farming and feed processing operation, processes farmers own soybeans into a cooked flake for rations. He has offered this service for 13 years, drawing customers from up to 100 miles, with current soybeans costing $4.80 a bushel and processing at $10 per ton.
Mark Hershey farms 190 acres with half in soybeans and about 10 000 chickens selling eggs wholesale or retail. He started an egg hatching project in 1931 for FFA, expanding to 70 000 chickens before shifting to a soybean operation. He laments farmer difficulties and opposes current U S trade policies while noting employment trends influence young people away from the farm.
