HOW IS YOUR FARM SCORED?
Northeast Daily Farm Beautification Program, Inc.
Awards will be based upon neatness, good maintenance and other
factors which can be controlled by the farmer. Attractive background'
scenery should not be weighed heavily in judging. All judging obser
vations should be made from a vehicle at one or more points on an
adjacent public highway (or if farm is off the road, the nearest lane).
Judging should give equal consideration to o)d wood construction
and new construction of metal or concrete block.
The award program may be used for subsequent advertising or
promotion activities for dairy products or dairy farming. Farmers
who apply for awards agree that; if selected (hey will cooperate with
these activities and make all reasonable efforts to maintain both the
exterior and interior of their properties in an acceptable condition.
HOW THE APPLICATION WORKS
The owner or operator of the dairy farm should sign (he applica
tion and send n to NEDFBP secretary by April IS.
HOW THE JUDGING WORKS
Judging teams will visit farms during the month of May. Farms
will be judged each year as the award is presented on an annual basis.
Any dairy failing to maintain appearance standards will be asked to
remove their sign. The Dairy of Distinction signs remain the proper
ty of the committee, not the property of the dairy farmer. All farms
must achieve a compliance score of 90 percent on their Dairy of
Distinction score card. Your cooperative or milk handler will be con
tacted to approve your milk quality.
RULES FOR THE DAIRY OF DISTINCTION. AWARD
The Dairy of Distinction sign remains the property of the
Northeast Dairy Farm Beautification Committee.
The post and bracket shall be supplied by and maintained by the
dairy farmer. It is suggested that a wood post 4’ x 4’ x 12’ or iron
pipe 2’ x 12’ be used. Posts or pipe should be installed and main
tained in true vertical position with 8’ above ground. Top of the
bracket shou' i be lower than six inches from the top of the post.
Sign shall b„ displayed in front of the dairy at roadside. An
attractive post and bracket, or other frame, shall be used to dis
play the sign. No more than three signs should be displayed from
the sign frame or post, and all shall be of a style, general size and
quality comparable to the Dairy of Distinction sign. Sign should
be secured on all sides to avoid wind damage.
Signs shall not be moved to other premises. New owners of a
Dairy of Distinction farm must apply to retain the sign.
Replacement of damaged signs shall be the discretion of the
committee.
No producer shall be charged with scoring or sign expense.
Judges’ decisions will be final.
Judging will take place between May Ist and May 31st.
Farms awarded a Dairy of Distinction sign in previous years will
be judged between April Ist and April 30th. If they do not qual
ify, they will be rejudged between May Ist and May 31st so they
have the opportunity to keep the sign.
Farms that do not requalify will return the sign to their regional
Dairy of Distinction Committee.
