    At Sanner Farms, located near Kutztown in Berks County,
the emphasis is on all-around management of both the dairy
herd and the field crops so there Is no weak link. Kenneth and
Denise Sanner and their son Brett 12, are carrying on a 40-year
tradition that started from grandfather’s chicken house. Over
the years the family has developed the dairy in a practical way
so that today they milk 90 registered Holstelns In a double 4
milking parlor and have about that many replacements In the
bams. They farm 300 acres of com and hay to feed the cows.

Daniel and Brenda Rice milk 80 registered Holstelns that
average 24,000 lbs. of milk and have an additional 80 young
replacements at their rented farm near Kempton In Berks
County. Their prefix Is Dapper Holstelns. They buy their feed
from the farm owner and concentrate on taking care of the
cows. Rice bellves that In this area, you can buy feed as rea
sonable as raise It, and you don’t have the frustration of
machinery. On the other hand, the crop farmers can pay full
attention to getting the forage made at peak nutritional value
because they don’t need to do the morning and evening
chores. Daniel and Brenda have four children, Megan 6, Emily
5, Samantha 2, and Benjamin 4 mos.
