A2o—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 20,1981 BY DEBBIE KOONTZ MANHEIM - Too often it’s assumed that to be successful in the dairy realm - or any farming operation - one must be raised in an atmosphere of solid hard work, inherit a hand-me-down farm, or grow up being as indispensable to the family farm as the milking machines are. Not so for Daniel Martin of Manheim who has been farming for 35 years - he wasn’t raised on a farm. But he says simply, when speaking of his reasons, “I guess a person pursues his interests.” And Martin’s latest interest has landed him one of his greatest accomplishments - he recently was elected to the boards of directors of United Dairy Industry Association and National Dairy Council at the organizations’ annual meetings m Washington D.C. Not one to waste words, Martin says of his position, “Respon sibilities just work into other responsibilities ” He then estimated that one-third of his tune is spent working at his several positions. They include: vice president of Inter-State Milk Producers Co-op, vice president of Dairy Council, Inc. in Southhampton, secretary of Federal Order 4 Advertising and Promotion Agency and a director for Holly Milk Co-op. He has been recognized as Lancaster County’s “Outstanding Young Farmer” and is active as Sunday School superintendent with the Manheim Mennonite Church. “I began to get involved during the slump of the €o’s.
