I got out of ag college in 84.My uncle had broken his heel so he hired me to milk his cows and help my grandfather put up the hay.I had just rented a barn and filled it with sows.By the end of summer you could hardly give feeder pigs away.The price of corn hit new highs in Ontario and many hog finishing barns stood empty that summer.I was also paying as much for dry sow feed in August as pig starter was costing in May.The milking and haying money plus the last bit of my savings kept the sows going until October 1 even with me negotiating an interest rate cut at the bank.The landlord and I made a deal to let me out of the barn lease as he had other plans for the building and everybody got paid but it set me back alot.On the plus side it made me much more cautious too.
