Right across the highway is another farm, purchased by my dad from John\u2019s brother Alfred Lasse around 1957. In the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s we had breeders and also many small brooder houses located on what was Alfred\u2019s farm. But we tore down the brooder houses, and removed the breeder pens and the land has simply been farmed for about 30 years.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1916\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\">\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1916\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We now call what was Alfred\u2019s farm, the Center Farm. It is a 65 acre piece of land. The Center Farm has the best soil profile for raising pheasants of any farm I\u2019ve ever seen. There is about 4\u201d of topsoil on top of hundreds of feet of sand. The land is gently rolling. Last year we constructed a Hungarian Partridge brooder barn and about 8 acres of pens on the west part of the Center Farm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">This year we are constructing 20 acres of pheasant pens on the Center Farm. We had a surveyor come out and layout the pens with Chris Theisen and me. Then Chris and I met with a gravel contractor (Bjoin) and made decisions about moving some soil around before we built the pen. We contracted to have an irrigation well dug (that can pump 300+ gallons per minute) and installed underground irrigation pipe to not only the newly constructed pens, but to the Hungarian partridge pens too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>All the posts for the 20 acre pen are in the ground. 5 acres is fertilized and planted, and will be completed by June 15th. We went with our standard dimensions 80\u2019 X 150\u201d pens with perimeter posts 4\u2019 in the ground spaced every 10\u2019 on center. With these new pens, we now have over 200 acres under net.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our \u201cmain\u201d farm (where our office is located and our
