A2Manc«stMr Fanning, Saturday, Juna 8, 1991 Wanted: People With The Right Stuff Last summer Mr. and Mrs. Kent Meyer from Clinton Co. had the right stuff. What stuff? The stuff it takes to be chosen to attend the Pennsylvania Council of Coopera tives (PCC) Young Cooperative Leaders Conference. Mr. and Mrs. Meyer were sponsored to attend by PA DHIA which is a member of PCC. This was the first lime the association was sponsored anyone to this excellent conference. This year the association will again sponsor one or two mem bers to attend this three day ses sion to learn about farmer cooperatives: why they exist, how they are run, and what they are supposed to do for members. You might wonder why PA DHIA would do that when everyone knows that Penn State runs DHIA. Right? Wrong! Members run PA DHIA and it’s been that way for many years now. The members you elect to represent you on the PA DHIA Board control the association based on guidelines provided by cooperative principles. Directors set the cost of fees, establish the program of services and hire the general manager to run the association. Educational experiences like How Does Your Herd Compare? STATE COLLEGE (Centre Co.) —This data is pulled from Pennsyl vania DHIA’s mainframe computer each week. It is a one-week summary representing approximately one-fourth of the herds on test, as they are tested monthly. These data are valuable from a business management standpoint and can be used for comparing your operations to the averages from almost 1,400 herds across the state.
