be the last of the Shorthorns,” she
said. That was just not what Fern
wanted to hear, and she set about
to prove that prediction wrong.
“When I started the club I had two
kids. In five years' time we have
14 member* in the state,” she said.
Through her efforts Milking
Shorthorns were reinstated in the
dairy shows at the stale fair, and
this year there were 30 animals in
the Milking Shorthorn classes at
the state fair.
The Hines have been just as
tireless in their dedication to the
Jersey breed. Fern and Cindy

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 13, IM7-A25
Cattle Club. Other organizations
the family is involved with in
clude the Frederick County Farm
Bureau, the Linganore 410
Grange, 4-H advisory board.
Country Ronds 4-H club, Mary
land Holstein Association, and the
Maryland Dairy Industry Associa
tion, where Fern has served as an
interim director. Fern sits in the ag
seat on the county planning and
zoning commission, a position she
calls the biggest learning experi
ence of her life. George is a direc
tor for Southern States in Woods
boro, and a member of the Central
Maryland Equipment Dealer's
Association.
All feed for the cows is raised
on the farm. This year George
grew 180 acres of com that all
went for silage because of die
drought. He raised 60 acres of al
falfa hay that went into the silo
and 75 of timothy he round baled.
Usually he puts 200 acres of beans
out, but not this year. Seventy-five
acres of early beans were planted
but the late beans are still sitting in
the shod on pallets. ‘There was no
use planting them this year,” he la
mented. He always plants at least
200 acres in cover crops and grain,
but this fall he’s put in over 300.
He has SO acres of rye in for feed
TW .fc'nfrcvtf ftfeuri*J4£A
in the spring, and is planting 100
acres of bailey and 250 of wheat
‘This fall with the drought he’s
putting everything he can make
into bailey, wheat and rye," said
Fern.
George has been a cooperator
with Soil Conservation all his life,
and has always had a nutrient
management plan. The Hines have
implemented a number of con
servation practices on the farm
that led to Hidden Acres being
used as a demonstration Cum for
the Carroll County Soil Conserva
tion district Three yean ago they
installed a Slurrystore system that
holds six months worth of manure.
“It fit with the contour of the farm,
and it’s safer than a pit with the
children around,” said Fern.
Grassed waterways have been put
in because of the springs that crop
up all over the farm. One of the
springs has been captured with a
cement trough to water the cows.
“This family and our operation
is no more important than any
other family in Frederick Coun
ty," stressed Fern, “We’re just
honored to represent the County.
George and I believe our family is
our greatest asset, along with our
friends we’ve made over the
years.”
