‘Reach Out To Urban, City People ’
(Continued from Pago A 1)
the national institute in 1977-1978,
Almost from the beginning of
his involvement with the Young
Farmers, Hoppes became involved
with the dissemination of informa
tion through the chapter newsletter
a job he continues to this day,
along with his wife, Grace, with
the stale newsletter.
Through the newsletter and
other methods, Hoppes said he will
act to serve as contact liaison with
the state and national associations
in developing educational prog
rams and ensuring instructors are
hired at th& high school level.
The state organization plans to
meet for their winter convention
on Feb. 6-8,1996, at the Somerset
Ramada Inn. At the February con
vention, Hoppes said the delegates
will vote to host the 1999 National
Young Farmers Education
Institute.
Hoppes has contributed his
time, with his wife, toward the pro
duction of the state association’s
newsletter, published about (five
times a year. He served
as co-editor the past
three years the state
association paid for the
materials and
production.
But in his new role,
effective Oct. 1, Hoppes
hopes to use die news
letter as a way to disse
minate information
about leadership min
ing and educational
programs available
from the association.
A big part of Hop
pes’s responsibilities
will be to work with the
34 affiliated county
organizations to ensure
that industry and educa
tion work together to
provide part-time
instruction to local far
mers and farm-related
organizations.
In the meantime,
Hoppes hopes to work
in getting the FFA and
other organizations
more involved in the
Young Farmer program.

VERONA, Wis.—AgSource,
Software Sales and Service Divi
sion of Wisconsin DHI Coopera
tive, recently announced the avail
ability of a new dairy herd
improvement software program—
DairySTOß 1.0.
DairySTOß is a computer prog
ram for dairy management in a
Windows environment.
Animal event data is input from
one screen and can be completed
individually or by groups. Produc
ers can review all the individual
cow events with one simple
keystroke.
The program allows producers
to define additional diagnosis and
treatments within the vet check
entry screen. A permanent condi
tion on a single animal can be
added to the ID record.
To assist in scheduling events,
DairySTOß permits producers to
predefine action intervals, such as

pregnancy checks and next heat
due, which will then inform the
producer when an individual cow
has met the criteria and action
should occur.
DairySTOß quickly and easily
turns individual cow production
data into lactation curves. Produc
ers can take other event informa
tion such as reproduction status,
medical treatments or BST usage
and overlay on top of the lactation
curve for better management deci
sions. Historical graphs can also
be created.
Reports are created from the
DairySTOß database. Producers
can use the pre-designed reports
or create their own report by
selecting the information to meet
their needs.
DairySTOß is a software prog
ram designed to assist dairy pro
ducers for better management
decisions.
