Hog farmer cites pseudorabies loss and 1978 forecast
The 34 year old hog producer, Ranschau, reports pseudorabies as a major challenge and new diseases as a growing threat. He lost 200 to 300 baby pigs but says others suffered more. He notes improving profits in early 1978 with potential decline later, and that the disease impact will show after winter. He emphasizes meat promotion and prefers one inch thick Iowa pork chops. Ranschau, his wife Della from South Dakota, and daughters Sonia and Elien live on the Rock Valley farm and attend Our Savior’s Lutheran Church.
