A3B-Lancaater Farming, Saturday, December 16, 1995 DAVE SLUSSER General Manager STATE COLLEGE (Centre Co.) The board and the employees of Pa. DHIA would like to extend the best to you, our members and to all involved in the dairy industry this Christmas season. As we manage our farms and cooperatives in these times, we must not forget the Christmas spirit and Christian message of December 25th. The birth of the Christ child marked a new begin ning for mankind in his relation ship with God. • You might have heard the ques tion, “Can modern agriculture operate on the principles set down by the life’s work of the Christ child?” To explore this question, let’s look at just a few principles of his teachings, and relate them to farm and cooperative management Brother’s keeper This principle is very important in the agricul tural community. You see it in full force when a barn bums down, when there is a death in a family, or when many other different tragedies hit a family. The love and concern that you see at these times truly rep resent the spirit of the Christian message. Can this principle go the next step in modem dairy farming? The cooperative principle is based on brothers and sisters working together to accomplish what they cannot do alone. Should we explore new ideas of this principle when it comes to farm and cooperative manage ment, and farm and cooperative structures? For the Selects Bu>«f...

It is so easy to see the faults in others and not be able to see them in ourselves. Business management as well as all of life is more fun when you operate in a forgiving spirit Love others more than your self This principle can literally get out of control. When someone knows you care about them more than you do yourself, they return the favor. The higher position that you hold, and the more responsi bility that you have, the more of a servant you are. Without love you have nothing! When necessary, ask for forgiveness. Truth Boy, docs our world need truth! We need to concen trate on truth, and sometimes truth hurts.
