High School Dropout Is A Large-Scale Swine Producer
Unknown to many, the biggest commercial swine farm in the Ilocos Region and probably one of the biggest in the country is in Barangay Bugayong, Binalonan, Pangasinan, which is located parallel to the national highway.
The DCU Farm started on a rented land 23 years ago with five weanlings, which were raised for fattening. Today, it is already at the 1,000-sow level in a sprawling contiguous area and has been incorporated as the DCU Farm Corporation.
Equally astonishing is that the owner, Danilo “Danny” C. Uy, is a high school dropout who established the small piggery because his neighbors were quarreling over the waste generated by a small kropek factory he established about a year earlier.
