Pennfield Makes
“Obvious Commitment”
With 6Vz Million Dollar Building
MOUNT JOY-In reference to a
new feed mill under construction
at Mount Joy in Lancaster County,
Kenneth Greenwood, director of
milling operations Pennfield
Corporation said, “You can saywe
have made an obvious Com
mitment to local agriculture. Our
present plants for dairy and hog
feed are old and inefficient. That
comes with wear and tear of
production over the years. With
this new facility we are upgrading
our technology with a network of
programmable logic controllers
that will be efficient and give us
control over every phase of the
milling operation.”
The new 150’ high structure with
28,000 square feet of floor space
will have a capacity to produce 75
tons of feed per hour. The cost of
the project is set at $6.5 million.
Pennfield's dairy and hog feeds
will be produced at the new
location when the project is
complete in October.
“For us,” Greenwood said, “the
new plant is symbolic of Penn-
Measure Fields To Be Eligible for Wheat,
LEESPORT - Before planting
spring crops that may be covered
by the 1986 farm programs, Donald
E. Lutz, Chairman of the Berks
County ASC Committee suggests
that farmers obtain pre
measurement of their acreages.
To be eligible for price support
loans, target prices and other farm
program benefits, he said
producers must report actual
planted acreages. It would be
unfortunate for a farmer to lose
program benefits because of
failure to comply with acreage
reduction requirements for wheat
and feed grains.

Feed Grain Program Benefits
Before crop planting time, ASCS
will stake and measure any type of
acreage, or portions thereof, that a
farmer requests. To be assured
that program requirements are
met, producers must plant within
the stakes that are placed when the
land is pre-measured. After
planting, program participants are
required to report their crop acres
to ASCS.
Lutz said pre-measurement is
important in helping farmers plan
which land to devote to the acreage
conservation reserve and which
fields to plant. The acreage con
servation reserve is cropland
