All herds were at least 10 percent
above the state average
for milk or butterfat production
last year, while at least two-thirds
of the cows in these herds are
progeny of Atlantic sires. Awards
were presented by Dave Zim
merman, Atlantic’s Field
Supervisor for this area.
District #4 Director Clyde W.
Martin of East Earl, informed
members of the retirement of
David Yoder after 41 years of
service to Atlantic and the AI
Industry. They also announced the
appointment of Harry Roth as the
new General Manager. He went on
to explain, however, that the
emphasis of this new management
would still be the same - Mem
bership Programs.
Martin also told the group that
despite the slow farm economy and
fewer cows to breed, Atlantic did
show a profit in 1984. In conclusion,
he looked to the future of ABC and
the dairy industry, citing that as
cow numbers and production
change, and as the dairy industry
changes, there will be changes in
the AI Industry.
Following a new film showing
Atlantic’s facilities and service
programs and a discussion of
current popular sires,
management representative Gary
Heckman of Lancaster, pointed out
that the Cooperative is dedicated
to giving members the service they
want by emphasizing quality
technician and direct-herd service
in the entire member area.
Members present voted for
District representatives for the
coming year. Election results will
be announced in the next issue of
the Cooperative’s newsletter, since
more than one meeting is held in
most of Atlantic’s 16 districts.
