The hopper loads by gutter cleaner
or scraper. And a flapper valve at the
end of the 12-inch PVC pipe in the
storage facility prevents manure
backup.
The Model 200 compressed air
manure mover features a manually
operated hatch cover and a one-way
valve at the bottom of the under
ground tank, so wear is minimal. An air
compressor provides air pressure to

collection tank.and then air pressure
moves manure to your storage facility.

Who farms
the Eisenhower
GETTYSBURG - The
Eisenhower tour bus turns in
between the two brick pillars
and a vacated "guard’s booth
at the main entrance to
cruise slowly down the long
paved driveway between
white board fences.
Inside the bus, visitors to
the Eisenhower National
Historical Site finish
listening to a tape of the life
and history of the 34th
President of the United
States and how the Five Star
General loved his Get
tysburg Farm.
Peering through the bus
windows, just prior to
disembarking to stroll
through the gorgeous home
of Ike and Mamie, visitors

Aberdeen Angus graze lazily
under the Summer sun. Crop
fields are stripped with
alternating ribbons of com,
soybeans, and hay.
As one guest prepares to
alight from the steps of the
converted school bus, she is
heard to say, “Does anybody
know, are those Ike’s
cows?”
In response to her query,
an accommodating tour
guide quickly replied the
land was being leased by a
local farmer and those were
his cattle.
To most visitors at the
Eisenhower farm, that
answer would be sufficient.
But not so for the farmers in
the crowd.
Who farms the
Eisenhower farms?
The stewardship and care
of our past President’s farm
has been entrusted to local
farmer, Bill Leonard.
Leonard, who lives across
the fields from the
Eisenhower Farm on
another historical farm near
Gettysburg, adds the 500
acres from the Eisenhower
farm to an additional 700
acres of cropland that he
farms.
Farming over 1000 acres
would be a full-time job for
almost any farmer. But for
