1. The Hunsbergers of Breslau - Early Retirement under pressure from the dollar
Industry prognosticator, producer-processor-promoter, controversial columnist, and some might say visionary, Bob Hunsberger has been a pork producer for 38 years. But likely not much longer. He shipped the last of his 300 sows in mid-winter.
Hunsberger says that he and his wife Marg are lucky. “We have saleable real estate,” he says, though he doesn’t see that there is a big demand for hog farms. They live on 60 acres near Breslau with a small finishing barn. “I can still call myself a hog farmer if I feel like it,” he says.
