The 57th Pennsylvania State
Farm Show will be held as
scheduled January 8-12, with
ample parking for all visitors, it
was announced by Wellington D
Smith, state Farm Show director
Smith said some people have
expressed concern that the Farm
Show building complex, inun
dated with 80 inches of water
when tropical storm Agnes
struck in June, would not be
ready for the annual agricultural
event
“There is no doubt about
having a farm show this year,”
Smith said “In fact, our fall
schedule of events has proceeded
as originally planned ”
Smith said about 50 percent of
the parking area is now being
used by the City of Harrisburg for
trailers to house the city’s flood
victims
To offset this loss of parking
area, said Smith, officials at
Harrisburg Area Community
College have agreed to close the
school during farm show week
and make its parking lot
available to Farm Show visitors
“This added parking area will

replace what we have lost to the
trailers,” Smith said.
The college is about IIAl l A miles
from the farm show complex and
Smith said shuttle buses will be
used to transport visitors to and
from their cars.
Smith said the farm show
complex is still in need of minor
work such as painting and tiling,
which should be completed by the
end of December. “But we were
back in full operation more than a
month ago when we installed two
transformers,” Smith added.
The director elaborated that
eo cmssro
such events as the All American
Dairy Show, the Standardised
Horse Sale and the Hardware
Show were all held as scheduled
in September and October. “And
right now we have the Penn
National Horse Show.”
As for the annual Farm Show,
Smith said the premium lists
have been mailed out and entries
are already coming in.
Smith noted that signs and
equipment stored by exhibitors at
the farm show complex were
destroyed by the flood. He asked
that exhibitors, therefore, con
tact him about getting new signs
printed and painted in time for
the Farm Show.

WET
No we're not talking about the flood. We’re talking
about the moisture normally found m any dairy feed.
Some feeds run as high as 65 percent water (silage),
and some as low as 10 percent water (hay).
Granin mixes fall some where in between unless the
manufacturer goes to the trouble of taking the
moisture out of the mix. Pioneer sets as its maximum
11 percent.
Using 15 percent moisture corn, a home made feed
may end up containing as much as 14 percent water.
Every hundred pounds of this feed may have 3 pounds
more water than 100 pounds of Pioneer. If a dairy cow
uses one pound of dry matter to make 3 pounds of milk
there could be 9 more pounds of milk in a bag of
Pioneer than in a hundred pounds of the home made
feed, couldn’t it?
KIND OF MAKES A BODY WONDER, DON’T IT?
