Illinois farm family reaches out to neighbors

The Hagenbuch’s are a young farm family who decided, partly for the sake of their children’s future, to expand. Kate and John currently finish around 1,500 hogs annually from a herd of 75 sows, but they’ve decided to feed, under contract, 4,800 hogs at a time for northern Illinois producer Illini Swine. They’re inviting the public to get a look at the two brand new buildings that will house the hogs and to look on while the ceremonial ribbon is being cut to officially open the two units. Kate Hagenbuch says they’ve done everything they can do to prepare to be good neighbors while building a future for themselves and for the next generation should they decide the hog business is where they want to be.
