GIVE YOUR COWS AT HOME A FLUFFY BED
LIKE THE FARM SHOW CATTLE HAD M HARRISBURG
To help livestock exhibitors get ready for the
show, U S Farm Systems of Pennsylvania
donated the services of a tough-built, red
bedding chopper in the barns of the Penn
sylvania Farm Show complex, this week Tim
Pierce, who operated the gas engine chopper
was a popular fellow for several days before the
show Livestock exhibitors lined up to have the
working red chopper come to their stalls to turn
bales of straw into fluffy, soft, short-cut bedding
worthy of the prize show animals to be stablea
there for a week
As you know, the Firm Show is a fun time to
show off prize animals and red bedding
choppers. But the real test comes back on the
farm, 365 days a year with cows and bedding
choppers that never get to the show That’s
where the tough-built, fed bedding chopper
really shows off Back on the farm Working day
in and day out
For the farmer, no more straw chunks to
shade by hand No more sawdust to shovel
Sawdust that probably holds mastitus bacteria
under your cows Just throw a bale of straw,
corn stalks or old hay into the red bedding
chopper and quietly blow fluffy, liquid
obsoibant bedding under your cows as you
move the chopper down the row of tie or free
stalls
Give your cows at home a fluffy bed. You
don’t need to tell ’em you got the idea from the
comfortable prize cows and the working red
bedding chcoper showing off in Harrisburg

Pennsylvania Farm Show
officiallyopened its doors to
a record crowd on Sunday.
On hand for the opening
ceremonies were Governor

First Lady Gmny, along with
Pennsylvania Secretary of
Agriculture Penrose
Hallowell.
As the Governor and en
tourage made a quick tour of
the commercial exhibit area
and dairy bam on their way
to the large arena, Secretary
Hallowell provided the
Commonwealth’s head with
explanations on cattle and
equipment.
Sliding into a stall next to a
Holstein cow, Hallowell
jokingly stated, “You see,
the feed goes in this end and
comes out here”, pointing
from one end to the udder
The Bucks County
dairyman did not give a
hand-milking demonstration
this year. However, he
stated, “That may have been
just the therapy I needed
my hand is still numb from
the car accident I was in
volved in last Fall.”
Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 17,1981-Cl9
Climbing aboard an im
maculately restored
carriage, called a vis-a-vis,
the Governor, Gmny, and
Secretary Hallowell made
their grand appearance into
the large arena.
The antique vehicle was
drawn by a matched team of
registered gelding Morgan
horses, full brothers. Driver
James Thrasher of Somerset
County was accompanied by
William Howard, state
president of the Draft Horse
and Mule Association.
In addressing nearly 5000
people gathered in the large
arena for the opening
celebration, Governor
Thornburgh proclaimed his
administration is committed
to the family farm.
Citing legislation passed
during the past year,
Thornburgh added, “We will
continue to seek legislation
to provide our family farms
with the incentives
necessary to remain in
farming and make a living.”
The Governor pointed out
the Pennsylvania Depart
ment of Agriculture’s logo,
“We’re Growing Better”,
which was unveiled at the
1980 Farm Show has been a
success.

Pennsylvania future farmer ten-year-old Scott

“In the twelve months
since that ceremony, scores
of food producers and
processors have begun using
the logo to identify their
packages as Pennsylvania
products. And more than
1800 farm markets and
supermarkets are using the
logo in their stores to in
crease their sales of Penn
sylvania foods,” he said.
Thornburgh pointed out
that both consumers and
fanners benefit from this
type of program.
“As consumers, we get
fresher produce. And
reduced shipping costs mean
better pnces for fanners
and consumers alike.
“When we increase sales
of Pennsylvania food
products, we give our
agricultural industries cause
to expand, creating new
stable jobs.
“Finally, by increasing
sales of our farm products,
we are givmg our farmers
another tool to help them
stay in farming. The need for
mcreased production, and
the potential of new markets
are an incentive for farmers
and should help them keep
their land m agriculture.
