PLEASANT GAP (Centre Co.)
Seven years ago Amy Nyman
was alternate dairy princess for
Centre County. Now, at 23 years of

gain much more knowledge about
the dairy industry. In return, she
believes that she is a better spokes

Much of this knowledge was

industry.

dairy princess duties primarily as a
neat way to get out of barn work,”
Amy said. “Now that I’m older, I
see there is much mote to the dairy
industry than milking cows.”
One point that Amy would like
to stress to consumers is the quality
assurance standards that a farmer
must follow to assure the consum
er gets a top quality product
She said, “These standards must
be followed before the farmer
feeds his cow until the milk leaves
his farm.”
Another point that Amy intends
to stress is to have the consumer
