“It was teamwork that made the
difference,” said Barnard, who
regularly evaluates dairy products
for individual producers and the
dairy industry. Team members not
only took an academic course in
dairy product judging but also
practiced two or three times a
week, fine-tuning their taste buds
for the final competition. Of the
69 individuals competing, mem
bers of the Penn State team all
scored in the top third in ice cream
and member James placed fourth
highest individual in ice cream
judging. The team also competed
in tasting milk, yogurt, cottage
cheese, Cheddar cheese and butter.
Funds to support the team were
provided by the Pennsylvania
dairy industry and the College of
Agriculture.
emment intervention we rotated
our crops,
Cultivated crops were planted
one year followed by a small grain
or grass-legume the second year
and a grass-legume the third year.
We contoured our fields to hold
that valuable soil in place and
erected diversion terraces to walk
off the excess water in severe
down pours. We didn’t ask for
government funds because it was
our land and our responsibility to
care for it.
After several years of severe
dry growing conditions we built
ponds and purchased irrigation
equipment as insurance against
drought
When it became apparent that
our production costs were rising
more rapidly than the prices
received for our commodities, we
went to woik at jobs off the farm
to supplement our income.
We really liked our farms, but
age has a way of slowing down an
individual working two jobs.
Around this time the United
States government inaugurates the
Conservation Reserve Program. It
had some merit in that it would
preserve the valuable soil.
Since up to this time we had not
asked for or received any state or
federal money maybe it was time
to take a look at this new program.
When we called the proper agency
for some information, we were
told, with a chuckle, that because
we did not participate in any gov
ernment programs and because we
had taken care of erosion a long
time ago, we would not be
eligible.
There are no ideal alternatives
at this time. Our only consolation
is the belief that some day, some
where we will be told “well done,
thou good and faithful servant.
