How is your snow load?

The inset is of a customer’s flex auger damaged by falling snow. We also have heard of a few situations where larger diameter fans (especially those which cone extensions) have been damaged. Keep air inlets free from blowing or drifted snow.

Preventive measures can have huge cost savings.

Diversification–the Shantz’s Build for Succession

Three generations of Shantz in front of their new Skov Broiler Barn. Rick and Doreen Shantz parents of Brett and Jocelyn Shantz make plans for the next generation.

“‘Our passion is in the dairy industry, but we just can’t grow that the way we want to right now,’ said Brett Shantz. ‘So, we’re diversifying.’

Why it matters: Poultry offered the family more security than expanding the current dairy operation.

Shantz, his wife Jocelyn and parents Rick and Doreen Shantz are partners in the sixth-generation farm near Wallenstein. The family invested $1.1 million in the 72-by-250-foot, 20,000 bird broiler barn as part of the farm’s succession plan.

The cost of land, limited availability and lack of labour didn’t allow for dairy expansion so they leveraged the dairy success to fund the poultry venture.

‘(Diversification was needed) to make it viable and affordable and (provide) enough cash flow to support everybody and what we want to do to see the farm carry on and be successful,’ said Rick Shantz.”

Building an expandable Skov broiler barn is a huge project. Last week, fifteen collaborative suppliers came along side to support, answer questions and share their enthusiasm for quality products and services. The Maple Leaf Farms Ltd lunch was a huge hit.

CountyLine is proud to stand behind a family team working together to build a strong business. To the Shantz family of Rick, Maureen, Brett, and Jocelyn, thank you for letting us celebrate with you. CountyLine applauds your open house and continued success!
