These FFA chains have done more to benefit pig farming .~.^^ . in the state than any other thing - and they continue to grow ^^JH). They yield to the housewife's cries for more lean meat and less fat, and help push the fat lardy-type pig off the stage, and his predecessor, the "piney woods rooter," is just a pig, as the boys have heard Grandpa tell about . One of the reasons pig chains are so popular with chapters is that all you have to do is buy a bred gilt and you are "in business". Chains multiply quickly.
The SearsRoebuck Foundation takes the lead, placing 145 thoroughbreds with FFA chapters in Alabama over the past six years. Just what an FFA member can do with a chain needle is shown by the example of Douglas Farmer, a young Hampshire breeder near Tuscaloosa, Alabama, who received the Farmer's State Diploma in 1949. He selects the heaviest sows and the heaviest and takes them out. bunch if.
The regulations governing chains vary, but the Five Points group has perhaps one of the strictest sets of rules. To be eligible for the gilt amember must establish at least one acre of improved pasture, feed balance, train the pig to show and the Chapter receives a first gilt to be placed with another member. If so, pig chains, properly managed, can be a real asset – both to your members and to agriculture in your area.
