servgeral ,,. before I got a drivers license I workred for a guy that always banked my hours ,.. and paid whenervr I needed money ,.it was nt bad work , his wife fed usreal good ,I learned how to raise pigs and feed hogs ,, got to drive tractors, trucks combines and skidsteers,he had the very 1st electric log splitter I ever seen in the county . 4 of us school pals would split a dumptruck load of wood every nite . and he would deliver it the next day after his bus route . about 3 or 4yrs went by and that same farmer talkt my brother and I into borrowing 10 grand to buy 275 head of his feeder pigs and keep them in his facility ,.. we did not know that he was also borrowing against those same animals , to get a crop production loan that spring ,I would feed 2 times per day . one day the farmer come to us with a scheme to sort out quality breeding stok fromgthe pens with the promise of making 100 bux more for each animal , above market price ,. we sorted out 20 and he took themto the dirt lot to the boar and advertied them as bred gilts for sale ,. before we could sell the 1st bred gilt ,.. rhinitis hit his sows and then the gilts got it ,.. then the building where we had hogs came down with it ,,. all in a matter of a weeks time ,. then the bottom fell out of breeding stock ,. our bred gilts scheme with rhinitis were not fit for anything but market ,.. then the farmers bank forced a note he had to pay,,.one day as I was taking a load of hogs to market and I did not see the gilts in the dirt pen ,, I stoped and told my brother and he said not gto worry ,, they are probably moved around back so we can load them better in a few days ,.. when I got to armours ,. a fellow neighbor farmer was there ,. and he commentd," I thought harlan swas done raising fat hogs ", I replied" that's rite he has not sold any in at least 4 monthes ,. we took over the fattening floor".. he then said " you better talk to dik in the scale house " ,. which I did ,.. dick told me Harlan brought in 20 head that morning and nervousely waited around for the chek to come back because he needed the money today,. I asked if "were they were all gilts" ,,and shorty piped up and said" they sure as hale was",. that evening my brother and I paid the farmr a visit ,.. he said the money for those gilts was needed to keep him from going broke ,.which he did over the next 2 yrs,. we got barely 10 cents on a dollar .. we were able to pay off the bank ,. but reduced market prices made very little extra mony for us..
