and Wilmer’s son, Bill, check on their Sta-Rite Pipeline. Mr. Hostetter had his first Sta-Rite
Pipeline installed in 1975.
Mr. Hostetter says, “I was so well pleased with the milking equipment and the service by
Agway, that when I wanted to buy a second pipeline in 1976 for another farm I again chose
Sta-Rite from Agway for my 60 stall dairy barn.
