It should be tapered from 40 percent to 90 percent, and have uniform medi um density. At the base of the tree, a handle must be trimmed to five to eight inches long. Trees must have a uniform normal color, have a natural out side appearance, and be free from damage or defects. There were 52 entries this year, down significantly from the 84 entries in last year’s Farm Show. The average age of the Christmas tree in the competi tion is seven to 12 years. Glenn Beers from Monroe County, a volunteer at the exhib it, explained that the weather this past year was not desirable for tree production. “The drought had the most effect on the newly planted seedlings,” Beers said. “In some areas of the state there was a loss of 90 per cent. Southeastern Pennsylvan ia was dryer than the northern area of the state.” Pennsylvania ranks fifth nationally in the production of evergreens. The Christmas tree judging is held in conjunction with the 84th Pennsylvania State Farm Show, the largest indoor agricul tural exhibition in the nation.

In agriculture alone, $7 trillion in farm real estate is going to change hands as aging farmers retire in the next few yeats,he said. “It’s a phenomenal change get ready for it,” he said. The two-day Vision 2000 con ference was sponsored by Kansas State University, Water Protection Association of Central Kansas and the consulting firm of Kennedy and Coe, LLC. The conference explored some of the emerging technologies and issues shaping agriculture in 2000 and beyond. Among them is grow ing use of precision agriculture to do such things as help farmers cal culate using ground positioning systems from orbiting satellites the exact amount of fertilizer to put on a field. For some, the vision of the future includes returning to some of the practices of the past. Pete Ferrell, a Butler County rancher, has put together the Tall Grass Prairie Producers Coopera tive to help him and hi£ .neighbors raise beef cattle in the Flint Hills in the same manner that buffalo once roamed the plains without intervention from the rancher. “For all our technology and hoopla, we haven’t improved over nature,” Ferrell said. His vision for the future includes cooperatives where ranchos have pooled their land to allow cattle to range unfenced prairies.
