Excellent Record Of Pig Production On Farm At Waimana
“Here, in the Bay of Plenty, we have a record of feed costs which show what- can be done under careful management and reasonable housing,” comments the supervisor of the Bay of Plenty District Pig Council, Mr A. F. Barwell, on a one-ton litter produced on the farm of Mr G. F. Robinson, Waimana. “In view of the publicity that was given to Messrs Montgomerie and Bell’s achievement in producing a ton of pigmeat in six months With a litter of 15 pigs and establishing a world’s record, I set out deliberately not to try to beat their record but to see what could be done under ordinary farm conditions,” Mr Barwell remarks. He has gathered the details of Mr Robinson’s litter.
