It’s Pennsylvania Farm Show time again; time for the
annual appearance of the creature known as the
“whistlin’ gofer.’’ It seems fewer and fewer farmers are
attending the Farm Show in recent years. Instead, most
of the people are non-farmers, folks who come up to
farm machinery displays, look the equipment over, then
whistle and ask “What’s that go for?”
But at a time when farm equipment manufacturers and
most farm equipment dealers are staying away from the
Farm Show, Hoober, Inc.
believes our presence is as
important as ever. By being at
the Farm Show with a promi
nent display of farm equipment

and answering questions from the thousands of visitors,
Hoober has the opportunity to stress to the non-farming
population the vital role agnculture plays in Pennsylvania.
The Farm Show also allows us to explain what issues are
important to Pennsylvania farmers and why looking out
for the interest of farmers is good for the entire state.
So, even though we’ll spend lots of time with the
“whistlin' gofers" we don't mind. Being at the Farm
Show is something Hoober, Inc. feels is time well spent.
And who knows, if you stop by
■ the Hoober, Inc. display, you
I might catch a glimpse a
■ “Whistlin’ gofer" yourself.
