The farm's obligation was to pull out the silverware, sort and return it. They fed the pigs a lot of things, including wrappers.<br /><br />The pens of the farm were built out of army surplus landing mats. Those are metal screens, a bit like what you'd stick in a air conditioning vent - but heavy duty.<br /><br />Anyway, the farm was a model for raising pigs as cheaply as possible. <br /><br />Supposedly it repeats on one or more cable channels.
