A community with one major
industry upon which its
economy depends will really be
in trouble if that company
closes down, To avert
catastrophe there should
always be some secondary

industries. This was said by.

Mr. Nick Samsom who owns
and runs one of Terrace’s few
secondary industries,
Samsom's Poultry Farm.

Samsom's Poultry Farm
circulates somewhere in the
vicinity of 144 million dollara a
year inTerrace, Industries like
this are needed to-stabalize our
local economy.

We are fortunate to have a
poultry farm in the area
because eggs are produced best
where they are consumed. In
order to be really good they
must be eaten fresh.

Actually, incomparison to the
Fraser Valley egg industry
where many of the eggs we buy
in grocery stores come from,
this business‘is sort of peculiar,
In the Fraser Valley a
poultryman has poulet raisers,
hatcheries, graining stations
and anything else he may need
to produce his eggs. In Terrace
there are no such businesses
nesr by’ and thus Nick must
have all these outlets right at
his farm, Of course there are
also merits in being isolated. In
the Fraser Valley a poultryman
must have all his laying birds
vaccinated 6 or 7 times for
various diseases. Because of
the isolation there is no disease
and thus no need for vaccination
at Samsom’s.

To look after his 30,000 girls
(as he affectionatly calis the
laying birds) and the 10,600
poulets (birds under the age of 6

[Samsom’s Poultry Farm

months which he must raise to
maturity before they start
producing) Nick must have a
general knowledge — of
everything connected with the
egg producing business. Heis
surely putting everything he
learned while getting his BSA
(Bachelor of Science
Agriculture) to work,

| Nick Samsom arrived in
Canada from the Netherlands in
1948. He went first to the
Prairie provinces because he

‘wanted to farm. in 1952 he &
came to Terrace. From 1952 to §
1959 he cleared land and built §
buildings at the present site of §

his farm. As he put it, he was
working two shifts. One at his
regular job with a local lumber
industry which he took in order
tosupport his family and get his
farm going. They were selling
eggs at the time but it was
difficult because .in order to
make his business a success he
had to work full time at it. In
1959 he had to stop working for
the lumber industry and went
intohis Poultry Farm full time,

Since then he has slowly built it |

up to where it is today with 37
acres, 9 production buildings,
plus storage and feed mill and
70,000 square feet Linder roof,
He employs 15 people, 12 of
which are full time plus a full
time delivery man.

Nick lives on his farm at 4508
N, Eby with his wife Ida and two
of their three children, David i6
an Cathy 13.. Their oldest son

Robert is working away from

home,

- When you're in the market for
good, fresh egg,” go on up to
Samsom's Poultry Farm.
You'll get fresh eggs and you'll
besupporting a local industry at
the same time. .
