VENANGO
Randy Witman, owner of this new Dairy of Distinction In
Venango County near Cochranton, didn't grow up on a farm.
But he worked on farms when he was in high school and this
gave him the Interest. After assembling one herd of cows and
selling them to a Pittsburgh businessman, Randy came to this
farm four years ago and now milks 100 registered Holsteins
and the corresponding replacement heifers. He has a freestall
barn, milks In a parlor and feeds TMR. At present Randy and
his dad do the work on 150 acres. The DHIA records are
unpublished.

WITMAN FARM
At John Rlshel’s Dairy of Distinction located near Mifflin*
burg In Union County they do things differently. John owns
the farm, takes care of the dairy, but rents out the ground. The
cash rent lease is openended so that John can purchase the
crops or not depending on what is the best. This gives the
dairyman a lot of options. John purchased the farm two years
ago from a non-farm background although he learned to love
the farm from his grandparents. He has a degree in business.
His 33 Holstein cows under the Amethyst prefix average
23,831 lbs. of milk and are milked In a tie stall bam with pipe
line. For anyone who likes cows, John would recommend the
dairy farm life to anyone.
