of agriculture as it relates to
public perception issues. In talk

Carl Bender, a dairyman
from Accident, in Garrett
County, was elected president of
the Maryland Holstein
Association He steps into the
role after serving as vice-presi
dent for the past two years. Mr
Bender and his wife, Martha,
milk 182 registered Holstems at
two different farms in Garrett
County Bender replaces Jason
Myers of New Windsor, who
stepped down after serving two
years as president
Elected vice-president of the
organization was Arthur
Rhoderick, of Hagerstown. Anita
Hill, Thurmont, will continue to
serve as secretary-treasurer
Mr. Bender thanked the
group for the opportunity to
work with a great group of
breeders He credits much of the
success of Maryland's club to
Anita Hill Her behind the
scenes work enables the organi
zation to run as smoothly as it
does, he said, enabling the lead
ership to reach its full potential
"Two years ago when they asked
if I'd be vice-president, if Anita
Hill hadn't been secretary, I'm
not sure if I would have accepted
it," he said.
Mr Bender said he feels
another strong point of the
Maryland club is its youth par
ticipation. He is encouraged by
the young people who are so
active in agriculture and in the
youth programs "If you watch
how you do things, there's still a
future in farming," he said.
No new directors were elected
at this year's meeting.
