The governmental
agencies which do the
technical work for fanners
in drawing up most of the
required plans do not have
sufficient resources to meet
the deadline and thus the
Department is proposing
that if a farmer has applied
to a Conservation District

would be considered in.

after October, 1977, farmers
will need to be certified as

certification will be ex

meetings. Farmers can
become certified by passing
a test which they can take at

manual to help fanners pass
this test. This manual will be
available at the meetings or
from the Extension Office at
a cost of $6.00; the test is

the Huber family, and the
only major changes make
were on the first floor.
In the 173 years which
separate the Herr House and
the visitors’ center, quite a
few changes took place. Most
notably the 1892 farm house
is quite large.
“It is a Victorian
dwelling,” says Groff, “and,
the Victorian age is known
for its grandioseness.”
Everything was large and
gaudy, although the Swiss
German Mennonite in
fluence in the house kept its
design plainer than most
Victorian homes at the time.
The kitchen was quite
large, because the farm
families back then were
quite a bit bigger than now,
and often times employed
hired help. So, the eating and
assembling room in the
house had to be large enough
to accommodate the amount
of people who would be using
it.
