Daity Farm Baaut Ideation Fragrant
This 54-acre Manheim farm rented by David and Shawn Wenger has been
well kept by Its owners, and the Wengers like It that way. In their sixth year
renting, they have found, as have many, that the attractiveness of a farm
can help with attitude when doing the otherwise mundane or more nasty
chores. In what David called “a well functioning” old tie-stall barn, the cou
ple milk 44 cows, keep 50 including dry cows, with about three-fourths of
the herd registered. They also keep about 60 heifers and sell the bulk of the
bull calves at auction, keeping some of the better registered bulls for neigh
bors who like to use live bulls for cleanup or all insemenatlon needs. The
couple have two two chliden, Kyle, 3, Katrina, 9 months, which keeps them
busy. The dairy farm is David’s first, having grown up on his father Ray
mond Wenger’s beef farm near Lltitz. Dave got his practical experience
doing dairying work at another dairy farm for more than a year. And If the
Wengers get the opportunity, the young couple said they would be inter
ested in buying their own place. Where they are, they have a 20-foot by
27-foot Harvestore for high moisture shell corn, and a 20-foot by 60-foot
stave silo for corn silage. In addition, he said he usually makes three or four
ag bags to store his farm-raised forages. He has to buy most of the shell
corn, but is able to raise hay and silage corn and double crop that with rye
for rylage.
Atlantic Dairy Cooperative congratulates all

Award in Pennsylvania. We are proud of your
efforts in maintaining a high quality farm
