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.

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.

the Young Cooperative Leaders
Conference provide training in
cooperatives and how they work
so that the cooperative members
attending can take that knowledge
home and use it in their own orga
nizations, like DHIA, whether at
the local, district, state, or national
level. It is through experiences
like these that the future volunteer
leaders of DHIA are prepared to
serve other members.
So, what is the right stuff any
way? Simply this: be between 21
and 35 years of age, have a sincere
