tatives to make local promotion
easier, effective, and more
enjoyable.
“Dairy promotion is tremend
ously important part of the indus
try and no one is doing it for us. It
becomes more and more complex
as society gets farther and farther
from its agricultural roots,” Hard
ing said.
Some of those obstacles that
dairy promotion people need to
deal with are animal rightists who
are fighting to have all animal pro
ducts stopped, and the soft drink
industry, which spends $l6 in
advertising for every $1 the dairy
industry spends.
PDPPS is one of the oldest
grassroots program in dairy prom
otion in the country. It backs up
whatever individuals can do in
dairy promotion on a one-to-one
basis in their respective counties.
Information, tools, inspira
tion, andresouces were introduced
for use in classrooms, mall promo
tions, and meetings.
At the Lancaster County semi
nar, Dairy Council representative
Carolyn Weaver introduced recen
tly published nutrition education
materials to make learning about
nutrition easier than ever for
school-age children.
Holly Gerke of PDPPS said that
the organization will help with
press releases, radio and television
promotions, and have resources
for promotional events.
To help participants deal with
dairy stresses. Dr. Natalie Ferry, a
former SUN area dairy committee
member and an extension agent,
explained how stresses can be
identified and lowered.
Participants answered questions
to identify whether they were Type
A or B personalities. According to
this theory, the personalities react
differently to the same situations.
Understanding your basic person
ality type can help to lower stress.
The ability to see change as a
challenge is necessary because
technology moves us along at a
high rate and we must change
whether we like it or not. Ferry
said.
“Spring is the most stressful
time of the year for farmers,” Ferry
said.
Between the months of April to
June, more young farmers between
the ages of 25 to 40 are at risk for
suicide, more farmers over 60 have
heart attacks, more accidents hap
pen on the farm, and more conflict
happens within the family.
To increase productivity and
safety, farmers must get off the
tractor and eat meals in the house
rather than working around the
clock.
To reduce stress. Ferry said, you
must come to the realization you
are not a super person and leant to
say no to extra when appropriate.
Leant to talk out your concerns and
treat your body like a temple by
eating a balanced diet, limiting
caffeine and sugar, quit smoking.

Seminar participants receive packets of information to guide them in promoting the
dairy industry.
