DHIA Sets
PCCART
Sessions
MANHIEM (Lancas
ter Co.) The Lancas
ter DHIA has set the
dates fo several
PCDART Workshops.
They are, Thursday,
March 12, and Thurs
day, March 19, to be
held at the office/lab
northwest of Manheim.
It is possible that there
may be overflow ses
sions on Tuesday,
March 10 and Tuesday,
March 17. The sessions
will be held from 10:00
a.m. to 2:00 p.m. each
day. A light lunch will
be provided.
March 12 will be an
introductory session
aimed at users who are
relatively new to the
system, or feel that they
have not been using the
system fully. It is also
open to any wo are not
currently using the
program, or would like
to see a demonstration
of its capabilities.
March 19 will be a
seminar for experienced
users. A focus will be
using the program for
herd analysis. Any
imput from users on
how you are using the
program will be useful.
There may be some who
want to attend both
seminars to make sure
that you are not missing
any basics, and yet want
to know some of the
advanced features.
Due to the number of
new yousers, there will
be some repeating of
information from last
year, but there will be an
attempt to avoid overlap
between the two 1998
sessions.
Reservations are
required, so we have an
idea of how many are
coming. For reserva
tions, questions, or sug
gestions, please call the
Lancaster DHIA office
at (717) 665-5960.*

U.S. Secretaty of Agriculture Dan
Glickman requested and was
granted a stay of Judge Doty’s
