' These newly farrowed pigs are among the first at Wyatt Grain Company’s newest facility near Walkerton. The facility is scheduled to eventually be a 1.500-sow. farrow-to-finish operation. Wyatt Grain Company's hog operation will be discussed during the July 13 luncheon at Triton School during the 1979 Farm Management Tour. The tour will be conducted July 12 and 13 in St. Joseph. Marshall, Kosciusko, and LaPorte Counties.

Although participants on the 1979 Indiana Farm Management Tour won’t actually visit Wyatt Grain Company’s wide-spread hog operations, they will have a chance to learn a great deal about them through a presentation during a luncheon on Friday, July 13. The luncheon, to be held at the Triton School near Bourbon, will feature a slide show and a conversation with Wally Caine, manager of Wyatt Grain Company. The hog operations include two facilities near Wyatt — "Elm Road" and "Ham and Chop" and a new facility near Walkerton. Both the Ham and Chop and Walkerton facilities are scheduled to be far-row-to-finish. The Elm Road site is a finishing operation only.

rate, number of pigs weaned per litter, and the cost of producing a pound of pork. "You can't control the market price or the overall hog supply," Caine says. "But you can control these three factors. If they are good enough, you can make money on hogs." To have a profitable business, even when the market price is not favorable. Caine says that conception rate must top 85 percent and the number of pigs weaned per litter must approach 9 - 9.5, well above the current state average. Facilities used by the company are relatively low cost. Comfort, health and productivity of the animals is entrusted to the personal care of the herdsman rather than high ticket capital items such as environmental control units. Managers of the facilities are rewarded with incentives based on how well the operation meets Caine's criteria for achieving profits. Prior to the Friday luncheon.

participants will choose either a visit to the Tom Farm near Leesburg. where irrigation is used on crop land or a visit to the Rettinger brothers grain and swine farm in Marshall Counts . Thursday. July 12. at 2 p.m., tour participants will have a choice ol visiting the Richard Johnson Diary Farm near Mill Creek in LaPorte County or the Hahn Farm in St. Joseph County where poultry. hogs, and grain farming are combined with a feed mill.
