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.”
