Dale Schnupp started custom
roasting grain in 1972.
He’s been spreading the word
about his business and chatting
with regular customers at the
Pennsylvania Farm Show for at
least 25 years.
“We feel that, living only half
an hour away, (the Farm Show)
is in our back yard,” said Janice
Schnupp Lehman, Dale’s daugh
ter. “It’s too close not to go.”

portable grain roasters and one
stationary unit to serve dairy and
livestock producers. The work
force includes 11 people.
Most customers are within a
two-hour radius of Lebanon, but
Schnupp’s travels farther to roast
grain, including trips to Dela
ware.
Dairy makes up the biggest
part of the business, followed by
hogs, beef cattle, and poultry.

Damage Claims
HARRISBURG (Dauphin
Co.) Agriculture Secretary
Dennis C. Wolff urged fanners
who suffered crop damage be
cause of Tropical Storm Isabel
and recent flooding and wind
storms to report damage claims
as soon as possible.
“While damage to fruit trees
like peaches, apples, and pears,
grapes, and other crops may have
been apparent during the imme
diate aftermath of storms, farm
ers may actually see more dam
age particularly to the com
fields once they begin harvest
ing,” Wolff said. “Farmers
should report damage as soon as'
possible and sign up for crop in
surance if they have not done so
already.”
Farmers experiencing signifi
cant crop and/or structural dam
age should contact their local
Farm Service Agency (contact in
formation is available at http://
www.fsa.usda.gov/pa/). Those ex
periencing the loss of insured
crops should contact their crop
insurance agent as soon as possi
ble.
Crop protection in Pennsylva
nia is estimated at 15,789 poli
cies, totaling nearly $2BO million
in protection.
