winnings on the show circuit.
He has been a consistent
winner at regional as well as
state shows and continues to
dedicate much of his time to
promoting the breed.
On his own for the past 18
months, Kline rents 67 acres
of ground and keeps a total of
around 50 Hoisteins, most of
which are registered.
Kline regards the future of
dairying as a good one,
although he has some
reservations on it due to
political trends in the United
States. Nevertheless, he
claims that the dairy in
dustry is something that
people will always have to
have, regardless of what
they do. Kline wants to be in
on the production end.
The son of Mr. and Mrs.
Vernon Kline, Reinholds, the
award recipient is a 1973
graduate of Ephrata High
School and he credits the
school’s FFA program for
having guided him to where
he is. The Cloister FFA
Chapter now has had five of
its students earn the
American Farmer Degree.

government stays out and
there are no price controls
and taxes keep from pushing
us out, then I think we’ll keep

The accomplished
showman is possibly a
contradiction to the common
thought that young fellows
can’t get started in fanning
anymore without significant
help from parents, relatives,
or friends. Kline claims to
have begun his career in
dairying without having had
anything given to him for
nothing. His herd was
initially started with FFA
calves, and he credits his vo
ag instructor, Lew Ayres, for
having sent him off to a fine
start.
As his herd grew and the
first animals became of
milking age, Kline tran
sferred the cows to his
brother’s farm at Denver H 2.
“Dairy fanning is my
main interest,” Kline said
assuredly, adding that it was
no secret. Consequently an
opportunity to rent a farm
came along in the Spring of
1975 and he gladly accepted.
Ever since then he and his
wife, the former Ellen G.
Martin, have been fanning
on their own. With a gleam in
his eye and a broad grin he
enthusiastically and proudly
added that he had just
recently became the fattier
of twin boys - Matthew and
Michael.

While still a student, Kline
worked at Gehman’s Feed f( * ‘.
Mill near Denver, an ex- *l3Ve 3
perience which he claims nice Weekend...
taught him a lot about daty
feeds, minerals and vit
amins.
In planning his future,
Kline wants to stress quality,
rather than quantity. He’s
confident of dairying having
a promising future - at least
more so than other branches
of livestock farming - and
predicts that “people will dja|
wake up one of these days to »
realize that farmers are vital >
to everyone’s existence.”
