Pa 215-298-3270 626-7766 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Dec. 27.1975 Dale Herr (Continued from Page 53) Logan has worked for the family for 31 years; Charles Daughton, 16 years; and Dana Lowery started up a year and a half ago. Herr’s wife, Fay, and their two children, Tammy, 10 and Dale Jr., five, also help with the chores, as is the case on most family farms. The Solanco area’s outstanding young farmer believes strongly in maintaining a healthy herd which not only produces but also reproduces. A victim of an IBR out break during his first year of farming on his own, Herr has continued to vaccinate his animals against brucellosis, for example, even though the law no longer required it. He is also particular about having cows checked for pregnancies and staying on top of breeding problems. He cites silent heats as his major difficulty. A member of the Pennsylvania Farmers Association and the Solanco Young Farmers, Herr made this ob servation of the highly competitive spirit found in far ming: “If a neighbor grows 180 bushels oi corn per acre, then there’s no reason why I shouldn’t be able to do it too, and maybe I’d want to go for 190 bushels,” he said of the commonly found attitude. But he’s not so sure it’s entirely for the good. Acknowledging its many advantageous points and granting that his is what has made American agriculture as efficient as what it is, he wonders if such a trend might not push some farmers right out of a job because of overefficiency and overproduction. Does Herr have any qualms about agriculture as a whole? Yes. One of the things which irritates him most is when-a speaker appears before a farm group and then that person spouts off about all the things which farmers know. He believes that farmers should do more to let the facts be known to “the public,” we’re presenting our story to the wrong people, he concluded. Herr was chosen as the outstanding young fanner by a panel of three judged - Stanley Musselman, Charles Schreiber, and William Fredd - on behalf of the Quarryville Jaycees, who held their OYF banquet last Saturday at the Robert Fulton Inn, located south of Quarryville just north of Wakefield. Contestants in the program included: Karl Herr, Fred Linton, Carlton Groff, Paul Trimble, Dave Bitler, Jim Kreider, and David DeLong. Awards were presented to Dale Herr by the Quarryville Jaycees, the Quarryville Chevrolet dealership, and Ray’s Appliances. The winner was chosen, explained Ken Rutt, OYF state chairman and a dairyman in the Quarryville area, on the basis of: progress in farming (50 points); soil and water conservation (25 points); and contributions to the well being of the community (25 points).' Entertainment during the two-hour program was provided by the Good Brothers of York County. State Representative Marvin Miller served as master of ceremonies for the dinner and dismissed the estimated 75 people in the dining room with these words: “If you don’t have a good ag economy, you don’t have it anywhere else, and I say God bless each and every one of you.” 59
