Dairy Day II Features
(Continued from Pago A2B)
of each session.
The morning started off with
each producer explaining their
operation and how it is designed.
Kreider, for example, said he is
starting a seasonal dairying
strategy, which means that for
about three months out of the year,
he intends to not milk cows.
Kreider said he intends to not
milk during the hotest part of the
year, and to have his herd freshen
in the fall, and lake advantage of
spring growth of forages and small
grains to supplement feed. How
ever. he said that he did not intend
to use grazing too much in his
program, as he wanted to have
tight control of the nutrients going
into his milking animals.
Dale Hershey and his brother
( have been featured in Lancaster

| in the past five years. The two have
approached dairying as a business
I and depend heavily upon their
computer records to manage the

business. They also milk three
times per day in a double-eight
herringbone parlor.
The brothers have also make
distinct separations of responsibil
ity within the farm and each spe
cializes to a good degree.
Tom Barely is in his second year
as a dairy producer, in partnership
with a brother and cousin. They
milk 75 cows three times daily in a
tie-stall bam.
Steve Hershey is an indepen
dent producer and family farmer
who overall appears to practice
more traditional production tech
niques, but who also uses BST,
prostaglandin and a totally mixed
ration.
The producers were asked to
serve on the panel because each
has experienced a measure of suc
cess, and because each represents
a different strategy toward dairy
production.
Topics ccvered ranged to tunnel
ventilation, BST use, feeding, and
management decision-making.
dons and elections can be con
ducted later this year. Categories
of membership also were
approved, and a membership
recruitment drive will begin
shortly.
The steering committee was
formed in June 1994, following a
forum on commercial composting
in Pennsylvania hosted by Penn
State’s College of Agricultural
Sciences. The committee’s first
task was to prepare and present
testimony on proposed revisions
to Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Resources
regulations.
