My husband, Paul, my son, David, 22, and I operate a
350-cow dairy farm with seven full-time employees. We
raise corn for silage and harvest grass for hay and silage.
We bought the farm 23 years ago when there were 40 milk
ing cows. Yesterday my son said that there are 675 Hols
teins on thefarm. We are proud of being dairy farmers and
try to promote the dairy industry with open farm visits for
the public. This is a very busy season; of course with the
spring being so hot and dry, we have been able to get the
crops in early.
We enjoy your newspaper and have always shared it
with the other people who visit us. Farming in our area is
on the decline and we enjoy reading about other farmers
and their methods.
/ will share the recent article about the dangers of the
milk house detergents with my daughter in Virginia who
recently gave us our first grandchild just before Christ
mas. She also lives on a dairy farm where her husband is
the herdsman.
Keep up the good work and thanks for making our days
a little brighter.

I live on a large Jersey cow farm in northeast Pennsyl
vania. My father -in-law is the fifth generation. My hus
band, who was killed in an accident in 1988, was the sixth
generation. Our children are the seventh. Now we have
grandchildren who are the eighth to live and work on the
farm.
I’m so proud of my five children, especially my two
sons, Steve and Stuart, who since their father’s death are
trying hard to keep the family farm in operation.
My husband collected milk bottles and I collect cows.
We would display them at dairy shows.
We've had grand champion Jersey at the Troy Fair the
last two years. The farm has received registered Jersey
