With many dairy farms going out of business because of the milk
prices, this farm stands alone. But not because of the milk prices, but
because It truly Is the only operating dairy farm in the borough, accord
ing to Lewis E. German, who operates Park Road Farms in Millhelm,
Centre Co. They milk a total of 49 cows with 38 replacement heifers and
calves. Milking is from a tiestall to a pipeline at 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. Corman
