Dairy Banquet

This is an annual event honoring dairy farmers and businesses who participate with Lancaster DHIA (Dairy Herd Improvement Association), a milk testing organization.  Our youngest son, Jere, invited us to attend this noon meal because it was his first banquet as General Manager.  (Cerwin was not able to be there due to responsibilities with TFC today.)

The photo was taken at a local farm.

Guest Speaker was Dennis Wolff, Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture.

My youngest brother, Steve, gave the National DHIA Report.

Jere gave the Manager’s Report.

Great job. 

Several farmers were recognized for their herd’s milk production or high test results.

Marie, Lancaster DHIA’s Admnistrative Assistant, asked me to pose for a picture with Jere and Kristen.  I requested that she take a few pictures with my camera as well.

Thanks, Marie!
