Presents VPF's Featured Grower of May, 2024
The Buchanan Family
The Buchanan family of Double B Farm has been raising poultry for 13 years. Currently growing for Cargill, the farm is owned by Ronnie and Esther Buchanan and currently managed by their son Scott and his wife Tabitha Buchanan. Tabitha manages the day-to-day care of the turkeys while Scott and their son Colton makes repairs and handles most of the clean out and preparation to receive the next flock.
The Buchanans work toward environmental stewardship by implementing nutrient management plans and conservation reserve programs. When it comes to bird health, they practice biosecurity and animal welfare protocols. The Buchanans also strive to maintain litter, good air, and good water quality and understand the importance of a good relationship with their service tech and poultry veterinarian.
Why did they choose poultry farming? Tabitha says, "Operating a poultry farm gave us the opportunity to obtain more land and grow our family farm for the next generation to come."
HATS OFF TO THE BUCHANANS!
