DOVER About 150 farmers
and guests turned out last
Tuesday, Nov 10 for the 4th annual
Dover Young Farmers crop show,
held at the Dover High School.
Spread across the long tables of
the school’s cafeteria were well
over a hundred samples of hay, ear
com, haylage, silage and grams.
County Agent John Smith moved
from category to category, judging
entries as he went, and explaining
his reasons with each grouping.
Tom Boyer, Biesecker Road,
York, was declared grand ch
ampion grand winner of the largest
division of entries, baled hay. His
fourth cutting sample of Pioneer
No. 524 won plaudits for its bright
color, and abundance of leaf
matter. Boyer’s winning slice of
hay was from a third-year field,
which gave an estimated six and
one-half ton per acre.
Emerging from the ear com
competition was top winner, Ray
Oeardorff, Davidsburg Road,
Dover. Deardorff’s long, straight,
full ears of Dekalb XL6I beat out
Several dozen other entries. It was
the first tune for Deardorff to use
the new Dekalb variety which

Boyer wins baled hay
yielded approximately 100 bushel
per acre.
Steve Green entered a sample of
first cutting mixed alfalfa haylage
from the Mcßal dairy operation,
located at R 1 East Berlin, where
he’s employed. Smith selected that
sample as the best, with enough
moisture for preservation and
palatability, but not too wet.
Lester Sunday, R 1 York,
emerged the winner of the com
silage category, with silage
chopped in early October from an
O’a Gold variety. Sunday’s entry
won on odor, evenness of cut, and
abundance of grains mcluded with
the stem matter.
Some twenty commercial
exhibitors were on hand with
displays representing seed, fer
tilizer, chemical and equipment
firms
