Grassland
The Grassland Chapter of
The Future Farmers of
America held it’s annual
project tour on Wednesday,
May 22.
The members met in the
Vocational Agriculture
Department at 8:15 Wed*
nesday morning.
The first project visited
was Don Weller’s farm. The
chapter saw the Weiler steer
raising and fattening
project. We also saw the
Weiler firing, and pig raising
project.
The second stop of the
morning was to member
Mike Hartman’s place where
the club viewed his pheasant
raising project. The chpater
also observed his many
varieties of quail. Which
include Golden Manchurian,
British, and Pharah quail.
Mike has just received 100
more pheasants to raise
again this year.
The Club then went to see
the Weaver dairy farm. Don
Weaver, a chapter member,
gave us a tour of their dairy
operation. Don also showed
us his fine greenhouse
project.
It was up and away to
Rocoma Farms, where the
Grasslands past reporter,
Scott Steffy, is stationed on
work experience. The
students purchased ice
cream, milk, and other
snacks for their lunch, then
toured the farm. Rocoma
farms had one of the first
dairy parlors in the county.
The first stop of the af
ternoon was at the Lloyd
Hoover’s farm. Lloyd, our
president, has one of the
finest veal calf projects in
the chapter. It is unique in
that he has converted a
'
Tour Day
burned out trailer to hold his
calves.
We loaded the bus and
went to the Groff farm. Both
Ken and Rick are members
of the Future farmers. Ken,
a freshmen now, won the
county Holstein calf. He has
also been a recipient of the
Grassland chain calf.
The third atop of the af
ternoon took us bade to the
Martin farm. Where Ray
Martin, past chapter
president, and his dad have a
50-50 partnership. The farm
is very well organized and
looks to be growing.
The chapter came back to
the school at 2:40 in time for
dismissal. The purpose of the
tour was to enlighten other
members so that they could
begin a project of their own.

Insecticides
I’m aware of some con
fusion regarding the use of
insecticides such as
Dieldrin, Heptachlor, Aldrin,
and Toxaphene for soil insect
control. Even though some of
these materials are sold on
the market, our Penn State
Pesticide Committee will not
permit us to recommend
them because they are long
lasting insecticides; these
materials are picked up and
stored in the foliage; when
the plants are consumed by
livestock, the residues of
these insecticides are found
at unlawful tolerances in the
fat tissues of animals and in
the milk. Meat and milk with
illegal residues can be
condemned by state and
federal inspectors. Growers
using these materials are
taking a big risk and could be
the losers in the end.
