Wivell Discusses Waste Conference
Clyde Wivell, past Lancaster
County Farmeis Association
president, reported on the re
cent Ag Waste Confeience in
Harrisburg at the Association’s
monthly meeting at the Farm
and Home Center Tuesday
Wivell, who represented the
Association at the confei ence,
said the consensus at the con
ference was that agriculture can
take care of its own waste prob
lems. but if farmers don’t do
the job someone else will
“They don’t say how you’re
going to pay for it, they say it
can be done,” Wivell explain
ed
He added that there is plenty
of advice on what fanners
“shouldn’t do,” but there’s no
clear advice on what to do to
solve many of the waste prob
lems, he said
He noted that the state now
has the law behind it to force
farmers to shut down operation
involving waste.
He quoted a state senator as
saying that pollution is the poli
tical “bandwagon” issue of the
day, similar to the prohibition
issue of the 1920’s Everyone is
now against pollution whether
or not they have any solutions
for it, he said.
“What makes it so contro
versial is an entire generation
of people who don’t know where
food comes from. They don’t
know that in order to have milk
on the table, you have to have
cows,” Wivell explained.
He also noted that there is a
wide variation of opinion on

the cow can be detected in the
milk and guidelines were dis
cussed on how to prevent this
from occurring.
Dr. Levac indicated there are
other tests, not now required by
law, that the dairies would like
to run to help the farmer pin
point some of the problems due
to improper sanitizing and milk
handling.
Every farmer was urged to
have his water tested for hard
ness in order for him to know
how much of the sanitizers and
cleansers to add to the water.
It was also noted that the
water that comes straight from
the well or spring should not be
used without sanitizer in clean
ing any parts or surfaces which
may come into contact with
milk The water contains bac
teria, which may speed the sour
ing of milk.
Having completed the course,
the dairymen were challenged
to make the few hours a day
they spend milking the most
meaningful work they do, rea
lizing that all the field work,
barn chores and management
headaches are endured and
done for those precious few
minutes the farmer spends har
vesting his milk crop each day.
