De Prenger feeds hogs including Duroc sows and Poland China gilts, housed in a sunny shed. Mark favors large litters and manages fifteen gilts, with two seven acre legume pastures of alfalfa and clover, rotating fields for the pigs.

De Prenger on a Leighton area farm praises Ladino clover as a strong winter legume. Mark De Prenger and family, aided by neighbor Ernest De Cook, cut wood for heat and work soil drainage along Muchakinock Creek.

De Prenger Plans Livestock Feed From Grain Harvest
De Prenger notes this year’s plots down from normal due to drought with two smaller crops. Ladino seed cheaper now and less is needed. He milks two cows and aims to rise to feed enough livestock to consume his grain. The De Prenger home is old but well preserved. It is large, warm and long.
