Swine Production Entrepreneurship

Swine Production – Entrepreneurship – sponsored by LA-CO Markal and Tyson Foods, Inc.

Garrit Austin Sproull of the Harrison FFA Chapter in Cadiz, Ohio, breeds sows to produce and sell quality market hogs.  When he was nine years old, he took his first market hog to the county fair.  When his first litter of pigs did not turn out as well as expected, he made significant improvements through better genetics, facilities and management.  Today, nearly 70 percent of his pigs place in the top five classes.  Sproull is supported by his parents Carolyn and Greggory and his FFA advisor Don Jones.
