Hog farming advances noted at Harold Bumbs Iowa farm
Harold Bumb describes his eight year experience raising hogs on a southwest farm near Bismark and Heyman Road. He buys pigs at eight weeks in Wisconsin, grows 40 to 210 pounds in about 3.5 months, and uses insulated barns with thermostatic fans and a side-yard pond to supply and circulate 1000 gallons of water daily. He notes 300 head on hand and annual grain needs from a 150 acre operation feeding hogs year round.
