SWEET-PEAS HOLSTEINS
Lloyd and Denise Pease, Susquehanna, built the new bam
two years ago on land that has been in the family for many
years. They farni 200 acres In Susquehanna County and milk
60 registered Holsteins In a stall bam with pipeline. Their herd
average Is over 24,000 lbs. of milk. To reduceequlpment costs,
they grow only grass hay and buy their grain. Lowering costs
and treating farming like a business are things you need to do
if you are going to stay In the dairy business. In addition, Lloyd
believes you need to take good Care of the cows. Lloyd and
Denise have two children, Matthew, 13, and Heather, 10.
