LANCASTER Karl Berger,
associate editor of the Delmarva
Fanner newspaper, was named
Inter-State Milk Producers’
Cooperative’s 1986 Agricultural
Communicator.
Berger was recognized for his
“exemplary services to the dairy
cooperative community” at Inter-
State’s 69th annual meeting.
Robert B. McSparran, president,
presented the award during the
Young Cooperator Breakfast
program Nov. 21.
An agricultural journalist for six
years, Berger joined the Delmarva
Farmer in 1980 as a staff reporter.
He was promoted to associate
editor and is now responsible for
dairy and livestock reporting.
A 1979 graduate of Penn State
University, Berger received
bachelor’s degrees in both English
and plant science. This com
bination in majors, he said,
prepared him to pursue a career in
agricultural journalism.
Berger’s interest in farm writing
and reporting stemmed from days
spent working on his uncle’s farm
in Lebanon County. Although he

Berger Named 1986
Ag Communicator
did not grow up on a farm, Berger
said there is a “long history of
fanning in my family.”
“Even though I’m not in far
ming, this is my way of carrying on
a family tradition,” he said of his
agricultural journalism career.
Through his dairy reporting,
Berger said he has come to ap
preciate the complexities of
modem dairy fanning. He said he
enjoys his job, namely because of
the people he works with.
“Farmers in business today are
not in it for economic reasons but
because they enjoy the way of
life,” he said, adding that his at
titude carries over into his work.
Berger’s belief that farmers are
“still the best people in the world”
is reflected in a column he writes
for Delmarva Farmer. “Two-
Cents Worth” takes a humorous,
light-hearted look at farming
today.
When not reporting on dairy
shows or interviewing a
cooperative representative,
Berger enjoys gardening, Celtics
basketball and freelance writing.
He and his wife, Maribeth Visco,
reside in Frederick, Md.
