Introducing "Big Bill"
We are proud to introduce "Big Bill!" He is the newest member to our team at our Ak Chin Maricopa Farm. This advancement in technology was a welcomed addition by our staff who loaded millions of egg cases throughout the years. Santiago Juarez, our veteran loader, was happy to see Big Bill arrive! Big Bill can hoist 20 half cases of eggs in 60 seconds. That equates to 1,200 half cases every hour.
Jerry Hall says, "Growing bigger can be better, when it comes to saving lower back stress and making our employeess loads lighter We thought Big Bill was appropriate in honor of Bill and Billy Hickman."
This is how we are prepping pallets before they are shipped.

Meet Jeremy Hoover, Special Projects Assistant, debuting the ultimate in egg collectors. The Ultra-Lift is a specially designed egg transfer system that marries the best of the efficiency with safety, all to keep the eggs on a safe ride to processing. |
Another vantage point for the Ultra Lift, egg collector, new in Maricopa. |
No green washing here! It seems that our retention ponds are shrinking in Maricopa. That is the only time in Arizona when water reduction is good! According to Jerry, our newly installed Moba processor is using less water, and that is the reason for the pond shrinking. |
In our recent Field Study on why Jerry Hall's desk and chair look brand new and unused, research reveals that Jerry is always near eggs and equipment. As seen here, he is filtering the eggs safely into the lines to head into the sanitizer/washer cycle. |
Silence is Golden! Our sound abatement program will be completed shortly. The wall that will be installed will almost eliminate noise, making it a better environment for our processing staff members. |
