Dairy Of Distinction Winners Named (Continued from Pag* A 1) Russ Rooks, president of the Pennsylvania program said that dairymen want the sign at their farm to provide advertising for milk. Others use the designation to help find good employees for the farm. Created in 1983, the Dairy of Distinction Program is designed to highlight those farms that help to create a positive image for milk. Applicants for the award arc judged by committees who evalu ate the farms’ roadside appearance, as well as the cleanliness of the grounds and buildings. Winners receive official 18x24 “Dairy of Distinction” signs which are mounted at the roadside for all to see. Award-winning farms are also visited annually by the judging committee to ensure that they continue to meet the standards of excellence set by the program. Pennsylvania has 10 districts that are run by local committees with area coordinators. These co ordinators are: District 11, George Wilcox, Erie; District 12, Brett Brum baugh, Brockway; District 13, Susan Alexander, Brockville; Dis trict 14, David & Janet Hileman, Tyrone; District 16, Norman Coons; District 16, Robert Hock enbrock, Richfield; District 17, Craig Williams, Wellsboro, Dis trict 18, Allen Roszel, Montrose; District 19, Southampton; and District 20, Russell Rooks, Al lentown. ah BQI •v# 'u & “The Standard in Grain Drying” Combination Dryer One of the Most Modern Dryers on the Market Farm Bins Galvanized Fans and Heaters Hopper Bottom Tanks Commerical Flat Bottom Check Our Prices Before You Buy New Sukup 6' Power Sweep Unloading System s . for 21 ’ Dia.
