Polish Delegation Visits Pa.DHIA
DAVID BIGELOW
Training Coordinator
Recently a delegation of Polish
officials toured the facilities at Pa.
DHIA. The group consisted of reg
ional directors and agents of exten
sion in Poland.
The tour was given in conjunc
tion with several other activities
during a two-week stay in the State
College area. During that time the
delegation had a chance to tour
several agriculture sights.
This is an exchange program
where directors and agents from
each extension group visit each
other’s program. This serves as a
learning experience for each
group. Ideas that are exchanged
are taken back to Poland for further
scrutiny.
Pa. DHIA Manager Dave Sluss
er and his wife Kaye completed a
project in Poland working with
dairy farmers to boost milk pro
duction. In the process, they deve
loped a working relationship with
mtumtmmj, artwteft
the Extension Service of Poland
and several of the agents who
toured the facilities here in Pa.
DHIA services and in their infancy
in Poland, as the Slussers
witnessed when they lived on the
dairy farms in Poland.
While visiting Pa. DHIA. the
delegation remarked several times

on the high production and super

were amazed to see the high
records of American cows.
American' agriculture is far
more advanced than the Polish
counterpart This serves as an
excellent opportunity for educat
ing the Polish agents.
