For the DHIA Award, John and Saloma Bylcr has the highest herd average. Bill Nichol, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Holstein Association, mentioned state activities. “The biggest part of our activities is international market ing.” A cow from Mifflin County was one of six destined for Japan the same day as the banquet. Since 1970, the Holstein Association has shipped cows to SO countries. Nichol stated that the Holstein first came to the United States in 1895 and was bred for milk pro duction and rate of gain. Because of this emphasis on milk produc tion, the global demand for Hols teins from the United States has increased. “We look for 5,000 head to be shipped to Kuwait this summer or fall and another ship ment to Egypt.” Nichol mentioned that the 340 youth attending the Slate Junior Convention helped to sell 20 tons of cheese with proceeds going back to the local clubs. Rochester, NY, will host the 1993 National Holstein Convention while the 1995 Convention will be held in Pittsburgh. Nichol encouraged members to consider a purchase at the ballroom sale during the National Convention on February 27. The topic of diversification to increase income will highlight the convention.

And 1 say to the American farmers, we gotta do something different in buying products,” Buffington states. Buffington reminded that the purpose of a businessperson should be to expand income and shrink costs with the motive to be debt free. He asked farmers to take a hard look at better ways to mark et their product, citing the success ful ad campaign of the Florida Cit rus Growers. “There’s a whole lot of things in salesmanship that you can do. One of the things 1 like toward the idea of helping us on the price of milk is selling cheese. 1 compliment the Pennsylvania Holstein Associa tion for selling a lot of cheese this winter. It lakes 10 pounds of milk to make a pound of cheese. And when you give somebody 5 pounds of cheese at Christmas time, that takes 50 pounds of milk out of the marketplace. And 1 know that most industries that got out of trouble got out of trouble by good, hard smart selling.” Buffington went on, “You need area effective advertising.
