Technicians Train
STATE COLLEGE (Centre
Co.) —Three Pa.DHIA techni
cians recently completed a field
training seminar in State College.
The seminar involved five days
of in-depth study.
Prior to this seminar, each tech
nician received their initial train
ing. By the time technicians
receive the in-depth training of the
seminar, they have approximately
two to four months of prior train
ing and experience.
This serves for better communi
cation and interaction at the
seminar.
The three who recently com
pleted their advanced training
were Ross Grooms from Arms
trong County, Mary Schmidt from
Crawford County, tuid Troy Lid
dick, of Dauphin County.
Quality certification through
National DHIA requires that prop
er training be documented for the

Each year. Pa.DHIA holds

held in each county on a bi
monthly basis to answer any ques
tions or address concerns.

Lancaster County
The Next Los Angeles?
The Lancaster Chamber of
Commerce and Industry agricul
ture committee along with the
Lancaster Farm and Home Foun
dation will hold a ‘Town Meet
ing” on Thursday, December 7,
from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Farm and
Home Center. The focus of the
program is “Lancaster County—
The Next Los Angeles?”
Preserving the viability and sus
tainability of agriculture is a top
priority of many organizations in
Lancaster County, but at the same
time there exists an accelerating
change of properties to non
agriculture land uses. This is a
trend similar to growth patterns in
such areas as Orange County* CA,
and Cook County, IL—which
now boast very little agriculture.
The meeting format will
include 10-15 minute presenta
tions from representatives of the
business community, farming
community, planning commis
sion, and the tourist industry. This
will be followed by a panel discus-
