Building a Brooder for Your Chicks

Setting up Alternative Business Pools

Michael Fields Agricultural Institute, East Troy, WI
March 21st, 2009 from 9:00am - 12:00pm and 6:00pm - 9:00pm

These workshops are an integral part of our 2009 Whole Farm Workshop series! We hope you’ll join us!

Building a Brooder for Your Chicks
9:00am - 12:00pm
Mark and Margaret Nelson return to do another pastured poultry building project with us! This year they will share their unique design for a chick brooder that creates its own warmth while composting bedding materials. This design is a stand alone moveable brooder that doesn’t require inside accommodations.

Setting Up Alternative Business Pools (Panel Discussion)
6:00pm - 9:00pm
Many farmers aggregate themselves around marketing strategies, product pooling, and infrastructure or equipment needs. Bob Van de Boom, Don Larson and Brian Wickert will discuss their business pool structure, governance, marketing strategies, and description of operation.
