‘Mann on tlie spot’
(Continued from Page Al)
the realm ol the present
show
‘Many non-farm people
come to the show essentially
out of curosity,” he
speculates
1 believe we should strive
to go farther than just show
them large pieces of
equipment, along with their
price tags
A lot of people don’t have
the slightest idea of how this
equipment is used
• Maybe, we could be more
specific in displays and show
the sequence of use on a
farm
• Also, these people are
unaware of the overall in
vestment and just how little
a span of time some of the
equipment may be used
'And while the time span
of use may be brief, just how
vital it is to the farming
operation
And then tie ail of this
together, with emphasis on
the rising costs of produc
tion, to the various farm
commodities, which also are
on display at the show ”
In this explanation lies
Mann’s simple but most
inclusive philosophy of the
Farm Show and how more
understanding and vitality
might be injected into the
static displays
Pausing amidst his jam
packed schedule just prior to
the opening of the show,
Mann also looked back a bit
to his previous stay in the
sprawling Farm Show
Complex
‘ You can’t really make a
comparsion from then to.

Mann, who recently
served a six-year stint as
farm manager at the
Masonic Homes in
Elizabethtown, digressed a
bit to explain that one of the
more noticeable changes
this year will be the layout of
the mam exhibition area (A
diagram of the area can be
found on Page D 22 of this
issue )
The real change in the
show.” he continues, ‘is the
growth of Pennsylvania
agriculture in terms of
quality and technology ”
And there are enough
changes from year to year in
this regard to make the State
Farm Show a vital and living
agricultural showcase.
And from the time that
Mann last stood in the
complex in the early-1970’5,
the evolutionary and
sometimes revolutionary
farming changes are quite
dramatic
But there’s one change
that Mann would par
ticularly like to see when this
year’s show gets off and
running on a full schedule on
Monday
I remember 1 awoke to
an 18-inch snowfall on
Monday morning of my first
Farm Show back in 1964. But
the show went on as usual ”
This year ’
Like the rest of us, the
Mann on tne spot” will
have to wait to see what the
weather holds
But in any event, the Farm
Show is ready and awaiting
the crowds of farm and non
tarm people alike
