Update On "Farming" System
Two years ago you published a story on a "frog farming" system that we were in the process of developing as a profitable new livestock enterprise for farmers (Vol. 19, No. 4). We're happy to report that we're now ready to go into full production. We've set up facilities to produce baby frogs and have located a market for the mature frogs. We've constructed 200,000 sq. ft. of breeder pens, a 16,800 sq. ft. hatchery capable of hatching 5 million frogs, a grow-out house large enough to grow 200,000 frogs, and a grow-out chamber. We are now holding seminars to train potential growers and also to introduce potential growers to buyers.
Selling frogs at a profitable price is no problem. We already have a standing order for 5 million bullfrogs per year. This buyer has agreed to sign a contract with us on be-half of our licensed growers.
We have more than 1,000 people on our waiting list to get into this business but the business is open to anyone. We're accepting a limited number of applications for our licensed grower seminar on a first come, first serve basis.
