A3B-Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, January 23, 1993 Farm Show Dairy Promotions Work HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.) —Pennsylvania’s Dairy Promotion Partners’ activities at the 1993 PA Farm Show sparked media coverage from across the nation. Most of the coverage came from the Partners’ butter sculp ture, but additional stories were generated by the new milk carton robot, “Half Pint.” The Partners is a cooperative group of organizations including American Dairy Association and Dairy Council, Mid East UDIA/ F.O. 36 Advertising Agency, and the Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program The dairy industry in Pennsyl vania was the feature of a story that appeared on CNN Network, several times on Saturday, Jan. 9. The story reviewed the butter Lancaster Farm, With Easement, Sells For $435,000 WILLOW STREET (Lancaster Co.) Parke and Mary Breckbill’s 68-acre farm went on the auction block Tuesday and sold for $433,000 after the couple donated the development rights to Lancaster Farmland Trust According to reports in the Lancaster Intel ligencer Journal and New Era, the farm was purchased by Joseph Esh, East Lampeter, for about $6,397 per acre. It is located south of Willow Street off of Fieldcrest Drive, near the Hayward Heath development Karen Weiss, of the Farmland Trust said it was one of the highest per-acre prices for a Lancaster County farm with an easement in place. According to the trust representative, the highest price paid for farm property with an easement in the county was $7,100 per acre for the James Hess farm in Pequea Township. Average price of an acre of farmland in Lancaster County in 1991 without an ease ment was $5,393, according to information provided by the county’s ag preservation board. With a preservation easement, the price was slightly higher, at $5,639. Esh farms ground in East Lampeter and owns a 48-acre farm which his brother farms in Fulton Township. Esh spent some time looking for a farm to purchase. He told the newspapers that the reason he purchased it was for farming. Esh said he was pleased with the price, not ing that he didn’t expect the price in light of the fact that the buildings were in good condi tion, when normally you have to spend a good deal of money to upgrade the buildings. The Breckbills moved to the farm in 1950, and operated a dairy of about 40 milking Holsteins and 40 replacements. Mary Breck bill said they are done farming. . The farm is the 34th preserved solely by the Farmland Trust An adjacent parcel of 41 acres owned by Breckbill’s son Wilber was also sold at the auction, bringing $167,000 and was sold to Dr. Robert and Debbie Moore of Manheim Township. Debbie said she and her husband hope to build on the property in the future, possibly keeping a few horses.

Reporters crowded the robot as “Half Pint” welcomed the gover nor to the show and gave Casey a “high five,” "We were excited that our activities at the Farm Show inter ested the media,” said Betsy Cargill Scholarshi • 1 Yr.

QUALITY INDEX - DAIRY The Quality Index was designed to simplify the corn hybrid selec tion process from the Corn Silage Product Menu. This one index is structured to take Into account the key quality criteria that could effectively reduce ration supplementation costs and Influence milk production potential. This Menu is designed to profile corn hybrids on forage & gram yield potential and key forage quality traits. Corn hybrids differ in their combination & level of fiber (NDF), digestibility, and protein content. The dairy cow has different Forage Quality requirements that are dependent on her stage of lactation. Because of these relationships, the Quality Index was created to score each hybrid’s quality potential by putting a weighted factor or emphasis on the key quality traits that would have the greatest impact on milk production & profitability. This factoring system is as follows: QUALITY CRITERIA NDF NDF DIGESTIBILITY TOTAL DIGESTIBILITY NFC CRUDE PROTEIN TOTAL Brubaker Ai Consul Average of 3 Corn Variety Trials Hybrid #1 Cargill 7997 24.3 #2 Cargill 8127 23.6 Cllntondals mils Mill Hall.
