She has been written up in other newspapers- for her work in this area. She, alone, is a notable individual, but her story wouldn’t be complete without Leroy Bupp, the farmer on whom she started using her charm in ninth grade and obviously hasn’t quit to date. Together, the Bupp’s have done a lot for agriculture and dairy far ming in particular. For three weeks during July they will be traveling through five Western European countries and Russia representing the United States with the Pennsylvania Agriculture Leaders Delegation. They will be seeing the farms in these countries while utilizing the foreign em bassies. When asked how they were chosen to be part of this tour, Joyce- smiled and said nonchalantly, “Gee, I really don’t' know how we got picked. We just got a letter one day.” A little delving into the past, however, opens the Phone Bus. 717-354-4271 . door to understanding why the Bupp’s name came up on the list. It all started back in 1966 when Leroy, a dedicated young PFA’er, received his American Farmer Degree from the FFA at Kansas City. This was just the start of a long string of awards, and equally important to Leroy, the beginning of many trips connected with farming. “We’ve been sort of lucky when it comes to vacations,” he says with a good-natured, easy grin. That is an understatement, in 1967 the Bupps traveled to Washington and ' Va. to receive the National JayCees Outstanding Young Farmer Degree, then in 1968 they were off to Texas to attend a National Rural Electric Cooperator con vention where they were named Outstanding Young Farm Couple. They have also been to Florida where they represented the Maryland MUk Producers Cooperative. This was' in 1971 when Leroy was Outstanding Young Cooperator. In 1972 the Bupps received their last award from the Young Farmers Association of Pa. At that time Leroy was named Outstanding Young Farmer. What’s Leroy got that other people don’t? Leroy would probably be the first to modestly say “nothing.” But, statistically, he owns 300 head of cattle, with 55 milking cows on his own farm and 75 on one that he Lancaster Farming, SaturdayTJurie 26,1976 leases from a neighbor. At one time, his cattle had been 100 per cent registered, but he has gotten some grade cows mixed in with his purebreds and is working to build his herd up to all registered again. His rolling herd average is 14,700 pounds of milk and 579 pounds of butterfat. Leroy terms this “just a little better than average,” but this concerns him very little. He really is concerned more with type and longevity than with herd average. His Breed Age Average, 103.7, is the statistic that is more satisfying to him. This places him tie for third in the county. Leroy and Joyce also farm 250 acres of corn, 130 of hay, and SO of oats, with some of the land in pasture. It must be noted that they don’t do this alone. They have a full time herdsman and'a a beef and crop manager. Also, 4-H camp has openings FLEMINGTON, N.J. - The Hunterdon County 4-H office still has several opeings for campers for its six-day summer camp program, scheduled for July 21 through July 26. It will be conducted at the 600-acre Rugers 4-H ‘ Outdoor Education Center at Beemerville, in Sussex County. The program is open to all boys and girls, ages 10 through 14, regardless of v r , their son, Richard, age 4, is a big help. “I help him combine,” announces Richard with a huge smile and an air of importance that only a four year-old can muster. Patty, age seven, helps, too, and wdl probably grow up to be another busy Bupp. Leroy’s farm-related activities are as many as Joyce’s. This is his second year as county president of the Holstein Association, and is, county sales represen tative for the organization. He is also president of the county DHIA, and is .on the policy development com mittee of Pa. Farmers Association. Between their farm, their organizations and their travels, the Bupps are busy people. And now in July they will be off for a three week tour of Europe and Russia, where together or alone they will be good representatives of Pa. farmers. whether or not they are members of an organized 4- H club. “Our policy in the past used to limit camp enrollment strictly to 4-H members”, said Joe A. Buchel, County 4-H Agent. “However, we discovered that this camp experience provided a wonderful op portunity for non-4-H youngsters to meet new friends and see what 4-H is all about before taking that step to join a formalized 4-H club. Through educational workshops and physical exercise, 4-H summer camp is a week of intensified fun and learning,” adds Buchel. Another addition this year will be horses! Youngsters who ride are invited to bring along their horses to 4-H camp. A special program has been developed for them to improve their equine abilities. Newly-constructed stables at the 4-H camp will accommodate 80 animals. The fee for campers for the full week is only $32 ($35 if you bring a horse). A $5 pre registration dejposit is due at the 4-H office by July 9. Applications and further information may be obtained from the county 4-H office, 782-5911. nrt npvn* iiUislMJ New Ring Drive Silo Unloader P & D Mfg.
