Well, it is official. As of yesterday morning, our “White House” is no more. The brooder barn that we had been renting, and playfully named the “White House,” was torn down. The neighboring John Deere business purchased the building/land and gave us ample notice that they were not going to keep the building.
We had rented the “White House” for the past 5 years. During that time, we re-wired and installed new ventilation in the 30 X 330 building. We used the building as our brooder barn, and each year housed as many as 70,000 birds during peak season in it.
We are currently in the building process of our own brooder barn here on the farm, and will be keeping you updated on the progress of it!
