The club con ducts the Nittany Lion Fall Classic consignment sale, which allows students to select and prepare Holsteins for the auction. The Holiday Cheesebox sale generates funds for the club’s activities by packaging holiday boxed cheeses to be sold to alumni and friends throughout the U.S. The revenue from these fund raisers help fund the annual spring trip. During the 2001 spring break, members traveled to the Pacific Northwest to visit internationally respected Partners For Success (Continued from Page 10) including the recordkeeping and hired help for the three-times-a-day milking schedule. The Jobo workforce includes 13 fulltime and seven parttime employees, in addition to the five corporation partners. According to Josie, the key to a steady work force is hiring reliable employees from the start. “The turnover rate is not very high once you find the good (workers),” she said. The team at Jobo includes three fulltime Mexican employees. Originally in Adams County for migrant work in the orchards, they have settled in the area and proven to be excellent workers on the dairy, Josie said. Of hearing about other employers hesitant to hire Mexicans, she said, “I don’t understand why.” Jobo Holsteins posts an overall rolling herd average of 25,330 pounds. Included in the RHA are about 40 head of Brown Swiss. The milk is shipped to Land O’ Lakes Cooperative. John and Bonnie Hess have previously been recog nized as Master Farmers and conservationists.
