does and is so easy to operate and
to know that I have been able to
design and construct something
that has been practical. I feel
pleased that I have been able to
perform a needed service and I
have gotten compliments on my
work. It makes me feel very good
that have been able to work for the
same family and serve the next
generation like here with Ken
Porter.
Herr worked for Edgar Porter,
Ken’s father, when Ken was
10-years-old, in 1949 at the farm
on Letort Road outside of Millers
ville. In 1971 Ken moved to Centre
County where he was also serviced
by Herr. Ken also spent time with
Herr on the equipment. Ken will
carrying on the tradition begun by
Herr through out central Pennsyl
vania and continue serving cus
tomers in southern York and Lan
caster counties.

material unsuitable for seeding.
That material which is not used for
seeding is not discarded. It goes
into different bags to be ground
into feed.
■ - The process is done through the
use of three shelves which sift the
grain and other particles. As the
grain is sifted a high-power fan
will lift the inferior particles and
grain away from the seed grain and
die prime seed grain will go into a
separate bin where it will be chem
ically treated before it is bagged.
According to Herr, some far
mers feel the homegrown grain
used as seed is superior to certified
seed which can be purchased.
However, Porter pointed out that
while some farmers are receiving
around $2 per bushel for their
grain, they have to pay up to $6 per

bushel of seed grain, so there is a
substantial cost benefit in using
homegrown over certified grain.
Although there are still seed
cleaners available from local feed
mills throughout the state, the
number of independant seed
cleaners is diminishing. Herr, said
the decrease is due to the number
of farmers who no longer grow
small grains and therefore do not
require the service of the seed
cleaner.
In the past 40 years Herr has
seen many changes, specifically in
the development of farm land. In
York County he has seen a
decrease in the number of farms
with an increase in the size of the
existing farms.
In Lancaster County he has the
seen the land being developed and

Lancaster, along Abbey ville Road,
where he was raised, used to be
nothing but farmland and all of
that’s developed.
“Of course more com is being
farmed. We used to take a drive
into Amish land to find wheat
shocked, I always like to see that,
but it’s getting hard to find that
anymore, said Herr.” "Villages
and country stores are no longer
around. I guess it’s just a matter of
people adjusting to the modem
way. that things have just shaped
up. They used to be a pleassure to
go to, meet people, exchange
information and now its just a
memory”.
Through the loyalty of his estab
lished customers, Herr has been
able to keep busy for the six weeks
in the fall and two weeks in the
spring. Herr never had to do any
advertising, except for his first
year. Then he went from from farm
to farm in Mifflin County looking
for business. But he never had to
again.

was that I was able to work at other

For the past 11 years Herr work
ed with Goodhart & Sons, Inc.
doing fabrication in the shops. For
the past three years he had been
working for them compiling
detailed drawings for patterns.
“They have cooperated with me
and have given me the time I need
to conduct my personal business
every spring and between July and
October. It’s been a beautiful
arrangement,” said Herr.’T have
had the opportunity to meet some
wonderful people. They were
more than .just customers.”
Retirement for Herr will mean
more time to catch-up with a back

ing more time with his wife of 52
years, Marian, and his four daught

his list is the restoration of a ICkon

founding officers of-the Rough and

“I don’t think I’m going to be sit
