Six Master Farmers were honored Tuesday at a special Farm Show Week luncheon of state agricultural leaders at the Penn Harris Motor Inn. The rural Pennsylvanians won recognition for leadership in farm and civic organizations as well as achievements in agriculture. Those receiving the coveted award were: H. Eugene Blevins, Stewart stown, York County; Harold C. Cayman, Waynesboro, Franklin County; Ernest 0. Miller, Hamburg, Berks County; S. Richard Moyer, Winfield, Union County, Thomas 0. Oyler, Sr., Gettysburg, Adams County; and J. Glenn Poorbaugh, Mount Pleasant, Fayette County. Both Blevins and Oyler produce fruit. But while Blevins tries to sell as much fruit as possible directly to the consumer, Oyler finds running a stand requires too much time and bookwork. Poultryman Richard Moyer goes the direct marketing route, too, selling 41,600 cases of eggs and 60 tons of beef direct to Mrs. Consumer each year. The remaining winners are all dairymen. Gayman ships a million'and a half pounds of milk to market each year. Miller has ex panded the size of this farm to 520 acres or almost nine times its original size ... and he’s not yet 40 years old. Poorbaugh, senior member of this Master Farmer class, has been dairying since he was 14 years old.
