Newberry's Pork Production:
Swine are easily incorporated
into most farm operations. Hogs
are efficient in feed conversion
and can offer a ready market
for farm-produced grain.
With land and labor cost con
stantly increasing, pork produc
tion conforms easily to confine
ment operations and automa
tion.
The key to pork profits, as
with all farm enterprises, rests
with management. The manager
must constantly be aware of si
tuations that will reduce or el
iminate his profit. He must al
ways be concerned with rations,
disease and breeding.
Pork production can be pro
fitable but it takes planning,
work, and management that
keeps abreast of new techni
ques.
Labor Management Problem
It is the time of year when
farmers are beginning to feel
a labor squeeze. There are the
fields to be plowed and planted
and the need for competent
farm labor will increase in the
next several months.
The labor market has chang
ed. No longer can a farmer ex
pect workers to come to his
door. Non-farm firms offering
year-round employment oppor
tunities are bidding farm labor
plans. If the schedule calls for
away from the farm. Farmers
who hire labor profitable are
learning to cope with the labor
situation of today.
Who is a good labor mana
ger? A good labor manager will
make the job easier for the
worker and get more productive
work done at the same time.
A good manager (1) plans the
work; (2) tells and shows each
worker what to do; (3) super
vises the work; and (4) treats
all workers fairly.
A good labor manager sche
dules the farm work, makes
weekly and daily work sche
dules, lists the jobs to be done,
and tells the employees about
plans. If the schedule calls for
longer hours than normal let the
workers know ahead of time. If
a worker must have time off,
it should be worked into the
schedule. Impress workers with
the importance of getting crit
ical jobs done on time.
Be sure the wage rate, the
pay day and withholdings from
the pay are clearly understood
at the time the worker is hired.
If farm produce and housing are
provided an employee, show him
what it would cost to provide
these from his paycheck.
Getting and keeping adequate
farm labor is not an easy task.
The good labor manager will
use. the guides suggested above.
The good labor boss will be
firm, fair and consistent in his
dealings with all employees.
Asks drivers to
stop speeding
In a personal appeal, Colonel
P. F. Thompson, commander of
the S. C. Highway Patrol, has
called on South Carolina drivers
to reverse the trend of what he
has pointedly labeled ’’wholesale
disregard for our speed laws.”
He noted that:
—Speeding was the No. 1 con
tributing factor in 375 out of
831 fatal accidents on South
Carolina streets and highways
during 1968.“
—Year in and year out, speed
ing is the leading contributing
violation in all traffic accidents.
—In the eight months ending on
February 28, the Patrol issued
54,562 warnings and made 78,-
388 arrests for speeding.
“It is clearly evident that in
the interests of traffic safety,
South Carolina drivers need to
slow down and discontinue the
wholesale disregard for our
speed laws,” the veteran Patrol
officer said.
The Highway Patrol intends
“to do everything within its pow
er to curtail accident deaths re
sulting from unlawful speed,”
including maximum use of rad
ar and unmarked cars, he said.
“And with posted speed limits
and signs telling about the use
of radar and unmarked cars, no
one can reasonably complain
they weren’t warned.”
“We expect to be fair, but we
will rigidly enforce the speed
laws. We will make every ef
fort to apprehend those who are
disregarding the safety of oth
ers.
