After studying at Delaware Valley College, the Beshore’s youngest son, Jed, returned to partnership with his parents in the family operation. He and his wife, Sue, have since assumed full reins of the business, making all the farm decisions. “Jed always wanted to be the farmer and he deserves credit for where the herd is right now,” Wayne is quick to emphasize “I only milk in emergencies.” Rolling herd average on the 46 registered milkers is 20,200 pounds of milk and 740 fat.

Hay comes off early as haylage, with later cuttings in the mow, and corn silage refilling storage units as needed.

Brucellosis-free certificate to State Agriculture Secretary Penrose Hallowell at the 113th meeting of the Pennsylvania Dairymens Association held recently. Atwell commended the state and its 15,500 dairymen for their efforts in eradicating the disease, but cautioned that the Brucellosis-free status could only be maintained with a strict program of animal testing and monitoring. According to Secretary Hallowell, the state has ap proximately 4,000 herds on in dividual test plans, one of the largest such programs of its kind in the nation. “Our dairymen bear the costs of these programs and are to be congratulated for the time and effort they expand,” he said, noting that the state must be free of the disease for one year to attain Brucellosis-free status. Pennsylvania is a pioneer in Brucellosis research, entering the field in 1924. Federal involvement in the program did not come until the mid 1930’5.
