time, serving as president of

while significantly decreasing

Agency for three years and was
executive vice president of the
Empire Cheese Group of H.P.
Hood, in Cuba. N.Y., for two
years, where he was responsible
for all operations.
In addition, he served as assist
ant general manager for Upstate

where his efforts contributed to
the cooperative’s success in ac
quiring eight processing plants,
doubling its marketing area, and
expanding its product line.

Plans are being finalized for
this to be the largest gathering of
International Harvester equipment
on the East Coast.
The Beaver Valley Antique

owned it are getting older. They
just can’t hang on to it, with the
taxes. All the farmers are in their
60s. There are very few young
farmers.”
Their son, Jeff, realized the liv
ing to be made in the ever
expanding lawn and garden indus
try. Dick said that Jeff started sell
ing fertilizer and grass seed and
saved the money from helping
with the farm business to fuel the
landscape supply house he
operates.
For Dick, he ends up traveling to
Lancaster to sell his feed and to
pick up all his equipment, parts,
and supplies.
Waiting for conditions
For now, Dick is concentrating
on the weather, waiting for drier
conditions to settle in before fin
ishing the sorghum planting.
(Sorghum requires a soil tempera
'ture of at least 60 degrees to grow.)
On average, Schmalz harvests
nearly 100 bushels per acre of
sorghum and about ISO bushels
per acre of shelled com. Last year,
everything came out right for the
com. The soybeans, however,
didn’t do as well, averaging only
30 bushels per acre, way under the
profit margin for Schmalz.
Some ground has a lot of rocks,
and the condition of the sorghum
soil is red shale and lots of clay,
sand, and stones.
He regularly limes the soil
(about every three years per indivi
dual tract) to an average of about
150 acres per year. Also, he care
fully monitors weed conditions to
ensure the right herbicides are
used. Insects haven’t been a
problem.
Try other varieties
The variety of sorghum seed he
used was new. Dick said he wants

Anna serves on the Board of
Directors for Genesee County Co

Agricultural Advisory Council for

The national and worldwide
club of International Harvester
Collectors was formed in July
1990.
At this year’s show, there will
be daily activities of threshing of
grain, baling of straw, cutting com
into silage, steam engine operat
ing, making of apple butter, crafts,
tractor games, flea market, gas
engines, kids games, plus much
more. Daily parades and nightly
events are also scheduled.
There are several motels and
campgrounds in the area. The gre

to try other varieties for this grow
ing season.
Dick and Carole picked up the
sorghum award at the 1993 con
vention in Nashville, Tenn. They
enjoyed the trip to Tennessee and
have looked forward to other such
events.
“It’s nice to talk to other people
around the country and see how
they do things,” said Carole.
“You talk to those farmers out
there, (and they say) T farm
10,000-15,000 acres or so.”’ said
Dick. “Their garden is probably as
big as my whole farm operation! ’ ’
Before, at the farm’s peak,
Schmalz and family owned two
lime spreaders, a tractor-trailer,
and another truck. But something
was always going wrong with the
equipment, which meant nothing
but headaches to the family,
according to Carole.
“We have the trucking, we have
the lime spreading, he hauls in fer
tilizer, he has Dekalb, that’s
enough,” said Carole.
“We were the biggest farm
spreader in Bucks County for a
long time, until we scaled down,”
said Dick.
In the past, according to Dick,
farmers cash-cropped fresh
market fruits and vegetables and
made a good living. But not
anymore.
Carole acknowledged that farm
ing has been a tradition for her
husband.
“Our businesses have sup
ported our farming, and they
always have,” said Carole.
“Farming is something that he
does because he loves to do it, but
we couldn’t make a living on farm
ing. We couldn’t have raised the
kids and sent Michael to college
and had any kind of life if it hadn’t
been for all the businesses that
Dick started.”
