Biographical Sketch

Soren Husman, of Gustine, California, was one of the pioneer turkey growers in the San Joaquin Valley. He was a successful breeder, hatcheryman, and grower, beginning operations in the early 1930s. He designed a brooder house heater that consisted of an outside furnace and a pit (used as a firebox) from which a pipe was extended through the inside length of the brooder house.
