    A36-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 10,1987
LANCASTER - The Donald
Rohrer family, 1428 Lime Valley
Road, won the tobacco cham-
pionship of the Pennsylvania Type
Division at the Lancaster County
Tobacco Show Wednesday at the
Farm and Home Center. Actually
the winning ribbon was placed on
daughter Dawn’s hand of binder
tobacco with Donald taking second
in the class. Donald also had the
first place hand in the wrapper
class. The Rohrers farm 11 acres
of tobacco and had a “pretty good
crop”. Rohrer has been a con
sistent winner over the years in
cluding the championship last
year. Raymond Burkholder,
Washington Boro, had the first
place filler hand.
In the Maryland Type tobacco,
Neff Bros, of Millersville had the
championship. In this division of
smoking tobacco, the Neffs took
first place in all three classes.
They grow both types of tobacco to
diversify their market.
Discussion at the show indicated
that a lot of damage both from the
weather and some shed bum have
plagued tobacco farmers this year.
This cut down the number of en
tries from 136 last year to only 98
this year. However judges Geof
frey Ranck, president of Domestic
Tobacco Company, and Stanley
Goldstoff, retired vice president of
General Cigar and Tobacco
Company, said the quality of the
tobacco at this year’s show was in
par with last year.
In the vo-ag division, there were
45 entries from three participating
schools, Solanco, Lampeter-
Strasburg, and Penn Manor. Here
