One local farm that has made some big changes recently is Svec Farms in Buckley.
Founded in 1913, the family-owned farm has been raising pigs for about 33 years.
Fourth-generation owner Eric Svec said they currently raise about 2,000 pigs from birth to slaughter â a six-month process â and grow corn, barley and wheat on about 1,100 acres of property just across the Wexford County border on Wilson Road. All the corn and barley they grow is processed in-house and fed to the pigs; the wheat is sold as a cash crop.
The operation is run entirely by Eric, his wife, Kim, and their two sons, 31-year-old Tyler and 28-year-old Jordan.
