A south ern York county potato growing family and an area feed firm shared the spotlight recently, as winners of top agricultural honors presented in York County. Thompson Potato Farms, Shrewsbury, was named recipient of the Family Farm award while Gordon Snyder, Snyder’s Feed and Grain, B rod becks, was pre sented with the Distinguished Ser vice to Agriculture award. Presen tations were made during the annual Agriculture Recognition Banquet held January 2S at Wisehaven Hall by the Extension Service and the York Area Cham ber of Commerce. Potato production gets top bill ing at the John Thompson family farm. Lew Thompson, John’s father, grew potatoes for area din ner tables as early as 1918, according to crop records kept from that time. When York became part of the potato chip industry in the early 1930’5, Thompson expanded to grow for that market as well. John “Jack” Thompson and his wife Betty began operating the home farm at Hametown in 1952, growing com, wheat, barley, can nery tomatoes and livestock in addition to potatoes. In 1964, they moved to their present location, expanding crop acreage as lives tock was phased out. About 250 acres of potatoes are grown today, along with extensive acreage of soybeans, corn and small grains. About 95-percent of the potatoes help supply the York chip industry, with the remainder sold fresh for table use. Son John Jr. joined the family operation in 1975. He and his wife, Dorothy, along with Jack and Betty and two full-time men handle all the crop and marketing operations. Thompsons have maintained a roadside market for Mountville, PA (717)285-4538 ♦ A* imifts you te their fa* 4* C :*iehi SALES DAYS ' REFRESHMENTS COHHHj MllXCh 4th " 9th PARTS DAILY Details Next Week many years, retailing potatoes, homegrown sweet com, tomatoes, cantaloupes and a variety of fresh produce.
