There are evergreen trees lining the wide, 1,000-foot lane leading to Evergreen Farm, owned by Richard and Patsy Lloyd, of .Chatham. The evergreens are uneven these days, as younger replacements have been planted after some of the older ones died or were destroy ed, but evergreens have been adorning the farm lane for a long time, and they inspired the farm name. Richard, 71, and Patsy have seven children. They currently farm in partnership with son-in-law Larry, and daughter Kathy Maule. “They’re in halves with me,” he said. “They live in the farmhouse, we live in the ‘new’ house, though it’s 50 years old.” The farming operation owns 126 acres and rents almost 300 more. The milking herd isabout 100 head of grade Holsteins kept in a freestall barn. The rolling herd average is about 20,000 pounds .vi* Authorized Northeast Agri Systems, Inc. ® Store Hours: Mon.-Fri. 7 30 to 4.30 24 Hr. 7 Day Repair Service FWR ■ MM 55 Flyway Business Park 139 A West Airport Road Lititz, PA 17543 1-800-673-2580 717-569-2702 ' r\ /CHESTER iy Get long-life and best value with Chore-Time Tlirbo™ Fans ■Time’s corrosion resistant line of TURBO™ Fans are designed to help leet the demands of ventilating livestock and poultry operations now r future generations.
