Breeding Sheep, Goat Shows
Benj Bow shows his top quality Suffolk ewe.
(Continued from Page A2O)
A lone entry in the Shropshire, a
spring ewe, by Ben Lovett, was
named champion.
In the Suffolk breed, no rams
were entered, and Benj Bow
cleaned house with his entries.
In the small-statured Montadale
breed, Tony Ebling’s young ram
was named champion, while Tisha
Ebling’s ewes took champion and
reserve champion.
Goat competitions were also
somewhat limited, though interest
in goats in Lebanon County has
been historically new.
The three breed show saw Sarah
Goss win champion and reserve, as
the lone competitor in the Nubian
breed; Jennifer Ungemach took
grand champion with her yearling
Saanen and Deana Brightbill took
reserve champion, with the two
entries of the show.
The Toggenburg show saw
more competition with Karalyn
Stoner’s kid capturing champion
rating and Michael Stoner’s kid
taking reserve champion.

Farmland
Praises Legislation
TAYLOR’S BRIDGE, Del. The
American Farmland Trust (AFT) praised
the passage of legislation designed to pro
tect valuable agricultural lands by making
the state eligible for federal cost-sharing
funds.
The legislation was recently signed into
law by Delaware Gov. Michael N. Castle.
American Farmland Trust President,
Ralph Grossi who attended the ceremony
to commemorate the passage of House Bill
200, called it "historic." He said the legis
lation will allow Delaware to receive
financial assistance under the federal
Farms for the Future Act, in the form of
low-interest loan guarantees for farmland
protection.
"Delaware farmers - particularly young
farmers - will be thankful for the program
as land prices rise," Grossi said.
"The Delaware Legislature and Gov.
Castle have taken action that is historic and
far reaching for farmland protection in
Delaware. If fully utilized, die Farms for
the Future Act could provide Delaware
with millions of dollars to ease the finan
cial burden of transferring farmland from
one generation to the next."
Authorized by Congress in the 1990
Farm Bill, the Farms for the Future Act
provides federal financial assistance to
stale farmland protection programs. As
much as $lO million in low-interest loan
guarantees are to be provided annually to
qualifying state programs to match funds
that states are devoting to farmland
protection.
"If states like Delaware provide suffi
cient matching hinds to receive the maxi
mum benefits under the federal act, as
much as $5O million could be available to
them in low-interest loans in the next five
years," said Robert Wagner, AFTs North
eastern office director who advised Dela
ware officials as they developed legisla
tion to establish the Foundation.
Under the terms of the federal program,
two dollars of federally guaranteed loan
funds would be made available for every
one dollar of state, local or private funds.
"The Agricultural Land Preservation
Foundation gives Delaware another
important tool to protect its natural resour
ces," Wagner said. "The program is a vol
untary way for landowners to protect their
farms without losing equity. And because
it qualifies the state for the Farms for the
Future Act, Delaware now has extra help
in reversing the trend of farmland decline."
