conjunction with the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture, recog
nizes farms operated by the same
family for 100 or more years. This
year, four families were honored
for their longevity of farm owner
ship: Noah Kreider and Sons,
Manheim; James and Peggy Groff,
Lancaster; Clair and Arlene Land
is, Ronks; and Roger and Kandy
Rohrer, Strasburg.
The Landis’s 120-acre hunt has
been in the family since 1853,
when Clair’s great-great grandpa
rents purchased the land. The
Landis family run a dairy farm and
lives in the farmhouse that was
built in 1865.
The Rohrer farm has been in the
family since 1893. Roger and Kan
dy live on 50 acres of the original
100 acres that Roger’s grandpa
rents owned. Rohrer is ag lender
for Hamilton Bank and farms part
time. Seven of the acres are in
tobacco, and the remainder, plus
an additional 40-acre tract, is crop
fanned by Rohrer’s' brother and
dad who use the harvest for their
adjacent dairy farm. Kandy is a
homemaker and operates a quilt
business from the home.
The Groffs are the fifth genera
tion to operate their BS-acre Stras
burg farm that has been in the fam
ily since 1864. The Groffs have
106,000 layers.
Although Noah Kreider is no
longer living, family members

oversee the Kreider’s 900 dairy
cows and VA million layers. Of the
2,700 acres used in the farming
operation, 102 are from the origi
nal farm that has been in the family
for 201 years. J. Richard, Noah W.
Jr., Ronald E., and James Kreider
are in charge of the operation that
employs many family members.
Speaker for the banquet was
Orion Samuelson, who told many
anecdotes of his work hosting the
television U.S. Farm Report and
syndicated radio show, National
Farm Report.
