taining your dairy farm 7 Does
your dairy farm project an attrac
tive, wholesome image to con
sumers? If so, the Dairy of Dis
tinction Program of Pennsylvania,
New York, and New Jersey, will
consider your farm for the pro
gram’s annual recognition awards.
The Northeast Dairy Farm
Beautification Program that over
sees the Distinction program was
first started in 1983 in Pennsylva
nia to recognize the hard work and
dedication of the farmers who
maintain attractive farms The
purpose of the program is to in
still a greater sense of confidence
m the wholesomeness of dairy
products, and increase their sales.
Farms that apply are judged on
the roadside appearance of build
ings, grounds, and surroundings,
since this is what our dairy prod
uct consumers observe as they
drive by the farm.
The cleanliness of the barnyard,
feed areas, and manure manage
ment are all areas taken into con-
ideration when a team of judges
ikes a look at your farm from a
Technology That Yields.
