Maurice says, “I like to feed green hay In my mind there
is no better feed for high producing dairy cows I can put
more and better hay in my mow by using Silo King because I
can start baling an hour or two before the hay would
otherwise be fit to bale By baling at 20 to 25 percent
moisture I can preserve more of the leaves that contain

circuit often ask Gary’s
advice and respect his
opinion.
Along with his baby beef
projects, Gary has been a
representative to the 4-H
County Council and has
attended and participated in
both the Achievement Day
and State Days. Gary was a
member of the Exchange
Trip to Maine last year and
was committee chairman for
the 4-H Expo from his club.
Last summer, Gary took
part in a team demon
stration pointing out the
effects of using corn silage
additives. Thd young farmer
traveled to 4-H State Days at
Penn State to present the
award winning talk.
Gary has served as the
news reporter and the
treasurer for the Baby Beef
Club since his initial
membership.
A graduate of Hempfield
High School, Gary also at
tended the Mt. Joy Vo-tech
school where he majored in
masonry. He was a member
of the VICA club at Mt. Joy
and was active in many of its
activities.
Gary is also president of
the Rohrerstown Mennonite
Church youth group and
belongs to the Rohrerstown
Fire Company.
The Brubaker’s farm
about 230 acres with Gary
doing much of the labor
required.
When asked what his
duties as president of the
large organization would be,
Gary commented with a
smile, “my job will be to
make sure our Bab> 2 .*
club runs smoothly.”
“It is a large county club
with almost 14 different
areas that blend into one
group.”
The job is certainly an
important one, but Gary
seems confident he can do
the work required. With the
responsibility and
knowledge the young man
has shown during his 4-H
career, he seems well suited
for the position. Gary has
one other plus which cer
tainly may be a help, since
his sister Cathy will be
backing him up as secretary
of the Baby Beef Club.
