Presents VPF's Featured Grower of July, 2024
David Hughes, James & Allan Barb
David Hughes of Rivermont Farm Inc. raises 83,400 heavy tom turkeys per year for VPGC. James Barb and his son Allan are David’s employees, but David admits they are more like family.
David has been selected as Young Farmer of the year and also received the Diversification in Agriculture award.
David has constructed two litter and composting sheds on the farm and keeps current with his nutrient management plan. His farm is located along the Shenandoah River, and all litter is transferred off the farm using a litter broker.
David says he is always installing new equipment and updating the houses for optimal bird health and welfare.
"I really enjoy and receive a lot of satisfaction raising turkeys and crops to help feed an ever-growing population," says David. David remains community focused as as chairman of Rockingham Petroleum Coop and President of Mosaic Federal Credit Union.
HATS OFF TO DAVID, JAMES & ALLAN!
