expected to drop by this
weekend and millers in this
area express overall
satisfaction with what
they’re getting so far. The
quality of the barley is good
and the average weight per
bushel is around 47 pounds,
reported one handler.
Lancaster County barley
growers ordered combines
into some of their fields early
this week, and it’s estimated
that a fifth of the crop may
be off by the weekend. Rain
interrupted the schedule, of
course, bringing back
memories of the rain
delayed wheat harvest of
1975.

Ron Hershey of Gap, field
manager with Vigortone
Products Company, recently
received a diploma from the
Vigortone Sales
Management Institute held
here.
He completed an intensive
one-week course of study
involving livestock nutrition,
product knowledge, territory
management and sales
techniques. He was
presented his diploma by
Vigortone’s president, Art
Swarzentruber.
Barley prices remained
'relatively unchanged frpm a
week ago; 'witlPdealers'
-quoting- paying r prices
rangirig from $2.00 to $2.20.

some changes since last
week, when prices were
reaching for the.sky and feed
companies 'were becoming
just a bit concerned about
buyer resistance.
While barley yields have
been described as being
spotty, there’s no ex
planation which would seem
to cover all situations. One
reason suggested by a
Lancaster County ( grain
handler is that some fields
may have been hurt by cold
weather. He noted- that he
had heard of some fields in
Berks County yielding only
to the plow due to poor
stands.
Nevertheless, the same

important and every bit as complex as

nutrition so important'to achieving an
excellent calf crop and good herd health.
