F32—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 7,1984
If you’re looking for a break in
the boredom of a long winter
around the farm, check the Penn
sylvania Farm Show schedule. It
starts tomorrow, and runs through
next Friday. As always, the Farm
Show is held at Harrisburg, an
easy drive for most area farmers.
For the uninitiated I must say
the Pennsylvania Farm Show is
truly an agricultural exposition.
Thousands of exhibits, ranging
from the smallest of seed corn
displays to multimillion dollar
farm implement collections will be
there. There’ll also be a full line of
livestock displayed, including
draft horses, dairy and beef cows,
sheep and hogs. Each day is loaded
with activities such as livestock
judging, horse pulling, square
dance competition, and livestock
auctions. Also, most of the Penn
sylvania agricultural
organizations hold annual
meetings during Farm Show week.
While the Pennsylvania Farm
Show is aimed primarily at an
agricultural audience, it un
doubtedly draws more nonfarm
participants. If the weather is
favorable, thousands of people
crowd into the Farm Show com
plex each day. School buses and
pick-up trucks in every brand,
style and color, jam the Farm
Show parking lot. Their occupants
scatter out to get a firsthand look
at their part of agriculture that
interests them.
It’s hard to compare the Farm
Show with anything else. I’ve
never attended an agricultural
gathering quite like it. It’s more
like a Midwestern state fair than
anything else except that it’s all
under roof and there’s no carnival.
There are livestock shows and
machinery displays, and an
assortment of educational exhibits
along with some grandstand en
tertainment in the evenings. And
there’s plenty of good food
prepared by a wide range of civic
and religious organizations. And
aside from a small charge to park
your car, the whole thing is free.
Believe me, there are no dull
days at the Farm Show. Something
is going on all the time and there’s
more to see than you can cover in
the iew hours that will probably be
available.
Improved roads have made the
trip to the Farm Show easier.
From Delaware and eastern
Maryland take route 283 west from
Lancaster where it meets U.S. 30.
Stay straight ahead on 283 where it

enters the concrete jungle three
miles above the turnpike. Avoid
signs saying 1-83 and Harrisburg.
Instead, follow U.S. 322 west
toward Lewistown. Three exits
farther north the road meets with
1-81 south. Signs point for Carlisle.
That’s your exit. Follow 1-81 two
miles to exit 23 and Camerone
Street East and the Farm Show
complex is right there. If you get
lost, ask anyone where the Farm
Show is and chances are they can
tell you.
I’m planning on catching some of
the Farm Show on Tuesday 10 and
also participating in the annual
Master Farmers award luncheon
that day which is held nearby.
Hope to see you there and
remember, although it’s a farm
show, it’s of interest to everyone.
MARYSVILLE, Wash. A new
GL-10 grain loss monitoring
system for combines has been
introduced by the Ag Division of
J&H Incorporated. It fits on all
combine makes and models for
harvesting com, wheat, nee,
soybeans, oats, barley, sunflowers,
rye, milo etc.
Field tests have shown combines
equipped with this system increase
yields by 2% or more and reduce
combining time by 20% or more,
according to a company
spokesman.
The console, which mounts in the
combine cab, has a digital read-out
to monitor grain loss from full
