Booklet qnd Plons on Hog Fqrm Buildings Offered

A new booklet from Douglas Fir Plywood Association will give lumber dealers ideas and talking points to help them sell more to the farm market. "Life Cycle Housing,' describes a new mass-production hog raising system diveloped by Iowa State College and incorporaiing three specialty designed buildings planned for fir plywood constructlon.

DFPA, working with Iowa State College consultants, sponsored a_nd built a fully integrated life-cycle production unit on an Iowa farm. The unit comprises four structures : a farrowing building, two growing buildings, and a finishing building. Full details on the system and diagrams of the buildings are included in the booklet.

Inner and outer wall surfaces of all buildings, as well as roofs, are of %" exterior C-C fir plywood. Pens, stalls, feed boxes and other installations are also exterior fir plywood, of varying thicknesses.

DFPA has prepared a construction plan for each of the three buildings (farrowing, growing, and finishing), including working drawings and bills of materials. The dealer could offer one or all of the plans to his farm customers as part of a package including the plywood and other materials needed to put up the buildings. A bonus plan for a hog trailer, used to transport animals from one building to another, is also available.

"Life Cycle Housing" booklets and construction plans may be obtained from Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma 2, Washington. Sample copies of the booklets are free; in quantity, they are $4 per hundred. Plans for the farrowing and growing buildings are $25 per hundred, for the finishing building, $50 per hundred. The additional plan for the hog trailer is included free on request.
