KIRKWOOD - A 31-year-old, conservation-minded
dairyman who owns 92 milking cows and operates 505
acres was recently honored by the Quarryvllle Jaycees as
that area’s outstanding young farmer.
Dale Herr, one of eight finalists in the biannual event,
received the coveted prize and opportunity to represent
Solanco in state-wide competition, on the basis of his
achievements, conservation practices, and contributions
to the community.
Associated with farm work for all his life, Herr received
the honor under some circumstances which seem to buck
a few general trends within the industry. Last year, for
example, he was farming an additional 205 acres, and nine
years ago, when be began farming on his own, he had 126
cows on test. Herr’s present emphasis is more on quality,
rather than quantity, and he claims the move has paid
off in the dairy bam.
