than anything. FFA was
probably the biggest in
fluence on me. I’m still
bashful and get nervous
when I speak in front of a
group, but I had to team to
do it in FFA.” Sellers served
as state vice-president of
FFA and won both the
Keystone and the American
Fanner Degrees. He said,
“I’m proud of the job FFA
does with young people.”
He was also active in 4-H
and participated in many
activities. Now he is a 4-H
leader for the Nosoam 4-H
Dairy Gub, something he’s
done for eight years. He
serves as leader he
acknowledges, “Because I
owe FFA and 4-H a good bit
and I want to see kids have
the same chance I did. I hope
I can be some good influence
on them.”
Active in many
organizations, Sellers says,
“If you want to have any
kind of influence, you have to
pick up your share of the
load. I think there’s more to
life than sitting at a cow
every day. I enjoy it, but
you’ve got to watch that you
don’t get into too many
things. There was a time
when I was in too many
organizations.”
Sellers also believes in
spreading responsibility. He
stated, “I think if you give
people a chance they will
help. The more people you
have involved, the better
your organization will be.
I’m really happy with the
participation we have.”
As a member of both the
Expo Board and the Lebanon
County Fair Board, Sellers
enjoys the fair and likes to
exhibit there. “It still has a
country atmosphere, which
we try to keep. It is really a
growing concern and a lot of
people look forward to it
each year.”
There are several things m
his dairy program which
Sellers does differently from
many. For instance, Sellers’
cows stay m the barn all
winter. “We bed heavily,
and we’ve done it for 10-12
years,” he states. One
question he always gets is
how he catches cows in heat,
but he says it has not been a
problem with close ob
servation.
Beet pulp is fed at the rate
of three pounds per cow,
once a day. “I think it keeps
the cows on feed better, and
keeps the digestive system
working,” he says.
The institution of a
mastitis control program a
year ago has paid off in big
dividends for Sellers. On the
somatic cell program at the
time, he says it was a “big
indicator” that something
was wrong, although he had
very few mastitis cases. He
cultured all the cows and
gave them a blitz treatment.
He needed to dump 10
milkings for 24 cows, and a
month later just three cows
required treatment. At that
point he began a dry cow
treatment program and teat
dipping. Smce then his
production has increased by
3,000 pounds, and he now has
lO different cows milking
over 100 pounds a day. He's
not sure what caused the
jump, but says, “The
mastitis program is the only
thing I did differently.”
He adds, “By most people
I’m a heavy hay feeder. I
feed 14 pounds daily per cow
and go down to about six
pounds at the lowest point. I
feed 30 pounds of com
silage.” He also feeds a 16
percent shelled com ration
and says, “Thirty-five
pounds is as high as I’ll go.”
He is convinced of the
value of feeding hay. “I
think good hay is the best
cow feed you can get.” He
tests twice a year and tries
to get the fourth cutting of
alfalfa when possible. He
feels a high roughage diet is
the most economical diet to
feed. He raises all his own
hay and com for roughage.
He grows about 35 acres of
alfalfa, 75 acres of com, 10
acres of wheat and has about
'3O acres of permanent
pasture.
Away from the farm,
Sellers serves as superin
tendent of the Fontana Union
Sunday School, and the
family belongs to the Fon
tana , United Christian
Church. Karen serves as
assistant Sunday School
teacher and works with
Bible School.
Karen is equally com
mitted to community ac
tivities. She is a member of
Farm Women 11, and is vice
president of the County
Farm Women. She is teen
leader advisor for the South
Mountain 4-H Community
Club. She enjoys raising her

He said delegates voted to
support a resolution from the
floor that called for con
tinuation of the method
directors currently follow in
collecting the money. It
passed by more than a 2:1
margin. “There were over
3000 votes, with 2500 voting
‘yes’ and about 1200 voting
‘no’,” Tewksbury said.
Tewksbury said about 20
resolutions were acted on
during the delegate session.
The Co-op voted to work

One of the key issues the

“This is a serious problem

Tewksbury stated the Co
