Last year he made money on hogs bought to turn into pea stubble although he paid 22 cents for them and sold for 161-2 cents when they had fattened.
"I am showing my faith in Moscow and the packing plant here by buying stock hogs in Spokane and shipping them here to be fattened and sold to the Moscow packing plant because I know that I can get Spokane prices or better here, when the hogs are ready for market," said Mr. Armbruster, who feeds several hundred head of hogs every year, generally buying them in the Spokane stockyards and shipping them here to be fed on his farms and selling in Moscow when they are fat.
Last year Mr. Armbruster bought several hundred head of Montana steers in the Spokane stockyards and shipped them to his farm near Genesee, where they were fed and sold to the Moscow packing plant for a quarter of a cent above Spokane prices.
