A two-fold opportunity for farm ers to realize a cash income from turkeys and turkey eggs is pro vided in a plan worked out with certain Newberry county farmers by W. C. Huffman, well known al ready for his success as a turjcey producer. The sharecropping or co operative production of turkeys and eggs has proved profitable to both Mr. Huffman and the cooperating farmers. The plan has two rather distinct phases—co-operative turkey raising and co-operative production of turkey eggs, both phases conduct ed on carefully planned and executed agreements between Mr. Huffman and the sharecropping farmers. M. C. Rochester, Clemson exten sion farm management specialist, who has made careful study of the plan as practiced, believes that this turkey sharecropping, so successful in this instance, has fine possibilities for general use. He thinks also that similar, sharecropping ideas with other special farming enter prises deserve study. The Plan With Turkeys The first phase of this turkey farming on a share basis involves growing turkeys for market or breeding purposes. Under this ar rangement, farmers agree to grow the poults for Mr. Huffman on a share basis to maturity, when they are marketed or purchased by Mr. Huffman for laying purposes. The most common arrangement is as followis: The poults are provided the grower from Mr. Huffman’s hatchery. The grower, who is a landowner, agrees to build a brood er house and a brooder and to fur nish the posts and build the c&es- sary fences, the wire to be furnish ed by Mr. Hiffman. Mr. Huffman furnishes also the necessary feeds, except grazing crops, and super vises, a t regular intervals, the rais ing of the poults. The grower pro vides a grazing crop mixture of corn and soybeans for the turkeys. About seven months after the poults are received by the grower, the turkeys are ready for market or ready to be conditioned for the breed ing pen. At this time, the best tur keys are selected for breeding stpck and the remainder are made ready for market. All the marketinjg is done by Mr. Huffman, who either sells the birds or purchases them at the market price for breeding stock. In making settlement, neither the Ibaor costs for the time of the grow er nor Mr. Huffman’s are considered. However, all items of cash expense, including poults, feed puiVhased, seed, and fetilizer for grazing crops, 10 percent of the outlay for brooders and brooder house, and 20 percent' of cost of the wire are deducted from the cash returns or value of thhe turkeys. The remaining profits are divided, 75 percent going to the grower and 25 percent to Mr. Huff man. Eggs On Shares Also The second phase of this co-op erative program starts in Novem ber and involves the production of eggs from turkeys selected for breeding purposes. Generally, all the growers who raise turkeys par ticipate in this egg production pro gram. In such cases, the selected birds usually remain on the same farm for the production of eggs for hatching purposes. Mr. Huffman pays the grower for caring for the birds during the period between the end of the selling period and the be ginning of the agreement for pro ducing eggs, which is usually about one month. Under this arrangement, the ow nership of the turkeys remains with Mr. Huffman. The farmer usually builds laying houses, though in some cases they may be built by Mr. Huff man. The person building sifch houses gets the 10 percent deprecia tion allowance. The same fencing arrangement holds a s in the ar rangement for growing turkeys. If depreciation charges for fence- already been made in the case of young turkeys, no charges are made for this item at this time. The grow er provides the land for buildings and grazing patches and all the la- (Continued on page 8) A SON Dr. and Mrs. D. A.
