farm economy, you may want to
attend the 7th annual Southeast
PA Grazing Conference to be
held Monday and Tuesday,
February 7 and 8 in the Hoffman
Building at the Quarryville
Solanco Fairgrounds. Officials
say you don’t need to be a grass
farmer to benefit from this
program. Five speakers with an
understanding of the times we are
in, will give numerous options
and ideas that will help your
farm's viability in the new
millennium. This conference is
about planning a profitable future
for your farm.
Gerald Fry from Bovine

discuss from 30 years of
experience what can be done with
breeding to influence profit in the
cattle industry. You can breed for
reproduction and maintenance
efficiency and avoid common
breeding pitfalls. His simple but
precise methods are working for
cattle breeders all over the world.
He has experience with his own
cattle and does some direct
marketing.
A University of Wisconsin
extension agent from Lafeyette
CO., John Cockrell, has 20 years
experience in setting up low-cost,

profitability. Learn why grass
will make more net profit per acre
than corn. Leam why production
per cow is not the most important
question you can ask about profit
on a dairy farm.
Two experienced graziers
Dale Nuefeld from Bradford Co.
and Jeff Wolfe from Adams Co.
will share from hands-on
experience how to develop a grass
dairy and what is possible and
practical on the working model.
Dale is a seasonal producer and
has 15 years experience. Seven
of those years he has been doing
seasonal calving and is excited
about the increased profitability.
He will point out why some
graziers fail.
Jeff has experience working
on one of the largest dairies in the
state so he brings along a unique
perspective that can be helpful to
any serious dairy farmer. He too
is seasonal and will share about
the profitability and challenges of
having all the cows dry at once.
He will outline the advantage of
variety in grass species.
John Thyssen, plant breeder
originally from Holland, will talk
about what is being done to
ensure the best possible grass
species for the grazier. He will
showcase the Kramer trial in
Wisconsin. This trial showed side
by side that ryegrass can survive
tough winters and make a
diffence in milk production and
enhance, the bottom-line.
B[JOD [JDD @ [T DOD S GD
There will be exhibits
related to the grass business
giving you an opportunity to meet
some of the progressive, forward
thinking, supporters of Lancaster
Co. graziers. On Tuesday, you
will be served a full course meal
