New Adventure In Egg Production Near Richland
A new poultry venture at the Oswalt farm four miles north of Richland features a 106 by 40 foot insulated laying house built by Clinton Construction Co. Nine 18 week old pullets arrived in August and the flock now yields about 66 percent grade A eggs. The operation uses automatic feeders, center roosts, roll away nests, power belts, an oil spray room, and an underground corn cob litter floor. Eggs are stored in a dedicated fridge and picked up weekly by wholesale dealers. Mrs. Oswalt manages the project, dedicating three to four hours daily, with labor similar to caring for a flock one third the size in prior buildings.
