Sumner GA, Located in southwest GA, | $6200 dollars, up from $4800 last year. Ain't no way in heck we are anywhere near spending that kind of money. Company claims that because of loss of business (wonder why) they can no longer justify a crew to clean out breeder hen houses. They pulled this same stunt last year, but we dang sure can't do it this year, and because our houses are breeder hen houses, it is near impossible to find a cleanout crew. Plenty to do broilers, but not many want to mess with the breeder hen houses. Reason they dont want to mess with breeder houses is each house has 252 wooden slats. each one has to be taken out and stacked up. Not easy work and labor intensive. Other than handling those slats, the work wouldnt be any problem, other than buying the equipment, but we could use the equipment year round as well. Labor is the only thing. Equipment consists of a low tractor, small dirt pan, need one that is very easy to change depth on, long set of forks for moving the slats out, small blade, and possibly another small skidsteer. Labor is the only thing that really holds us back from doing it ourselves, it is just alot of labor to handle those slats. May be forced to do what we have to do, just a bit aggravating to be put in the position. |
Aarrrgggg!!! Just got quoted chicken house cleaning bill
