Governor Robert?. Casey signed a proclamation declaring August 16-22,1987, as Penn
sylvania Dairy of Distinction Week at ceremonies held in Harrisburg Wednesday.
The Pennsylvania dairy industry has joined with the Northeast Dairy Farm Beautifi
cation Program to honor the most attractive dairy farms in the state. A national semi
finalist In the federal “Take Pride hi America Campaign,” the Dairy of Distinction
program’s goal is to encourage farms that add to the countryside’s natural beauty.
Each year the program recognizes no more than 10 dairies from each of the ten
designated districts in the state. To receive the honor a farm must apply and satisfy the
scrutiny of a panel of judges making a roadside inspection. Each winner will be iden
tified by a roadsign at the entrance stating that the property is a “Pennsylvania Dairy
of Distinction.” In its first year in the state 339 farms have applied feu- the award.
