A3B-Lmc«ster Farming, Saturday, Fabruary 11, 1995 1995 Dairy Of Distinction Farms Sought Kingston (Luzerne Co.) Do you take pride in maintaining your dairy farm? Does your dairy farm project an attractive, wholesome image to, consumers? If so, the Dairy Of Distinction Program of HOW IS YOUR FARM SCORED? Northeast Dairy Farm Beautification Program, Inc. Awards will be based upon neatness, good maintenance and other factors'which can be controlled by the farmer. Attractive background scenery should not be weighed heavily in judging. All judging obser vations should be made from a vehicle at one or more points on an adjacent public highway (or if farm is off the road, the nearest lane). Judging should give equal consideration to old wood construction and new construction of metal or concrete block. The award program may be used for subsequent advertising or promotion activities for dairy products or dairy farming. Farmers who apply for awards agree that; if selected they will cooperate with these activities and make all reasonable efforts to maintain both the exterior and interior of their properties in an acceptable condition. HOW THE APPLICATION WORKS The owner or operator of the dairy farm should sign the applica tion and send it to NEDFBP secretary by April 15. HOW THE JUDGING WORKS Judging teams will visit farms during the month of May. Farms will be judged each year as the award is presented on an annual basis. Any dairy failing to maintain appearance standards will be asked to remove their sign. The Dairy of Distinction signs remain the proper ty of the committee, not the property of the dairy farmer. All farms must achieve a compliance score of 90 percent on their Dairy of Distinction score card. Your cooperative or milk handler will be con tacted to approve your milk quality. RULES FOR THE DAIRY OF DISTINCTION AWARD The Dairy of Distinction sign remains the property of the Northeast Dairy Farm Beautification Committee. The post and bracket shall be supplied by and maintained by the dairy farmer. It is suggested that a wood post 4’ x 4’ x 12’ or iron pipe 2’ x 12’ be used. Posts or pipe should be installed and main tained in true vertical position with 8’ above ground. Top of the bracket should be lower than six inches from the top of the post. Sign shall be displayed in front pf the dairy at roadside. An attractive post and bracket, or other frame, shall be used to dis play the sign. No more than three signs should be displayed from the sign frame or post, and all shall be of a style, general size and quality comparable to the Dairy of Distinction sign. Sign should be secured on all sides to avoid wind damage. Signs shall not be moved to other premises. New owners of a Dairy of Distinction farm must apply to retain the sign. Replacement of damaged signs shall be the discretion of the committee. No producer shall be charged with scoring or sign expense. Judges’ decisions will be final.

The purpose of the program is to instill a greater sense of confi dence in the wholesomeness of dairy products, and increase their sales. Farms that apply are judged on the roadside appearance of build ings, grounds, and surroundings, since this is what our dairy product consumers observe as they drive by. The cleanliness of the barn yard, feed areas and manure man agement are other aspects of the farm operation taken into consider ation. Roadside judging is con ducted during the month of May. Former winners of past years are also rejudged to ensure they con tinue to meet the standards of excellence. To qualify for consideration, you must be actively dairy farming and shipping milk.

The Dairy of Distinction pro gram is financed in Pennsylvania by Dairy Fanners through the American Dairy Association Dairy Council and Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program, plus Agribusi ness organizations. The Pennsyl vania Dairy Of Distinction Pro gram is conducted with advice and help by Penn State* cooperative extension. Attractive dairy farms give the consumer greater confidence in the wholesomeness of milk and stimulate milk sales which encourages public support for the dairy industry. The award gives recognition to the dairy farmer for maintaining a well-kept farmstead. ELIGIBILITY All Northeast dairy farms producing milk for sale are invited to make application for the award. Dairies receiving the 10 highest scores in each of the 91 districts will receive an 18” x 24” Dairy of Distinction sign to be displayed in front of their farm.
