Young Farmers Association is to educate and promote the agricultural industry.
President’s rePort
I hope that everyone is having a good year so far. I would like to thank Berlin and Rockwood Young Farmers Chapters for a wonderful Winter Convention this year.
The planning for the 2019 National Institute is on the way and we are always looking for help.
Remember that when in Pennsyl-vania if you don’t like the weather wait five minutes and it will change.

2017 NYFEA Winter InstituteThirty-one Pennsylvanians, including 15 youth participants, attended the 2017 NYFEA Winter Institute December 6-9 in Savannah, Georgia. Headquarters was the beau-tiful Riverfront Marriott Hotel, where tugboats and huge container ships could be seen passing by. Geor-gia Young Farmers have 56 chapters with 5,484 members.
The conference began with the delegate business meeting on Wednesday af-ternoon. PYFA’s delegates were Steve Kline, Kenny and Denise Sanner, and Dan Wilkinson. It was an-nounced that Delaware Valley University is now an affiliate member of NYFEA. Following the delegate meeting Executive Secretaries from ten states held their annual meeting.
Thursday morning’s tour visited the Port of Savannah, the fourth larg-est container port in the U.S. and the largest in acreage (1200 acres) and tonnage handled. More containers are exported than imported, but
business is more equally divided than most oth-er ports. About 11,000 trucks per day service the port, taking about one hour to load or un-load. The port has 1200 employees but supports an additional 55,000 jobs in the region. Georgia’s #1 ag product is poultry, and the Savannah port is the largest poultry ex-porting port in the U.S.
Thursday’s second tour stop was JCB, manufacturer of skid steers, back-hoes, and loaders. JCB is a family run business based in Great Britain and operating in the U.S., Brazil, China, and India.

Cedar Crest Chapter BanquetBy Jennifer Balmer
Cedar Crest Young Farmers held their Annual Banquet on
March 22, 2018. Many members and community businesses
were present. President Darren Grumbine was the MC for
the evening and made sure the evening ran smoothly.
Jason Krall swept the forage contest awards and Lydia
Eberly received her past president plaque for serving as
president in 2017.
The highlight of the evening was listening to some of
members’ children, while they presented their FFA speeches
for everyone. Alayna Harrell, Dakota Grumbine, Mackenzie
Peiffer and Paige Peiffer were the FFA members who spoke.
We also had comedian Sandi Joy who left us with lots of
smiles and laughter.
Cedar Crest Young Farmers are looking forward to a safe
and prosperous planting season.
Hello from the Western Region!By Judy Croner
Berlin and Rockwood chapters are winding
down their regular meetings and workshops for
the season. On March 8, Berlin Young Farmers
toured and did a tasting at Tall Pines Distillery,
just outside of Salisbury, Pa. It was well attended
and enjoyed by all attending. Our last county
meeting was held on March 15, with a slide
show and discussion by Greg and Judy Croner,
on their recent agricultural trip to Brazil.
We ended our busy season with our annual
banquets. We have the County Farm Safety Day
coming up in May, at the Berlin Community
Grove on May 5. After that, our farmers will be
busy in the fields again. Here’s hoping it’s a nice
summer for planting and harvesting!
Kutztown Chapter ActivitiesThe Kutztown Young Farmers completed their
weekly winter meeting series in March. Advisor,
Jon Stutzman, led some of the discussions
centered around crop production; including
nitrogen management, calculating cost of
production and pesticide updates. We also
had a local graduate of Kutztown High School
share his story of interning at the Arctic Circle,
for the National Park Service. We had a local
meteorologist as our guest speaker at our Annual
Valentine’s Dinner. He was grilled about weather
forecasting by our Young Farmer members! Jon
also gave a presentation about his recent trip
to Brazil, to a standing room only crowd. It was
another great workshop season…now we look
forward to a great growing season.
Ken Sanner, President
Eastern Region EventOn March 15th I hosted an Eastern Regional Tour and Dinner Meeting. We toured the Appeeling Fruit Company, a Berks County apple processing facility, located in Mohrsville. We were able to see their process of taking apples from their crate to the finished product of snack sized bag treats. After a fantastic tour, by owner Steve Cygan, we traveled to Kauffman Chicken for a tasty dinner. Our speaker for the evening was John Berry, a Lehigh County extension agent, who recently visited South America. John has been following commodity markets for over 20 years and gave us a great view of current markets, his trip, and how South American agriculture affects the United States. Thank you to all those attending, as we had 5 chapters represented. Everyone had a very informative day.
If anyone has an idea for next year, please let me know. I’d love to have this event travel around the Eastern region of the state. I apologize for the late notice of this event, but I felt it needed to be held prior to our busy spring planting season.
Ken Sanner, Eastern Region Vice-President
Lewisburg Young Farmers“Industrial Hemp” was the topic explored at the January meeting of the Lewisburg Young Farmers. Abram (Bucky) Ziegler of the Milton area, spoke about his experience growing industrial hemp as part of Pennsylvania’s pilot program to gain experience with the crop. He was exploring alternative grains to soybeans for animal feed on his organic farm. A local miller introduced him to the opportunity to raise the crop in which the very beneficial oil can be squeezed from the grain for human use, leaving a high protein animal feed. The plant itself can be used for fiber- historically for cloth or rope.
Only about 14 farmers were accepted to grow 5 acres each last year, with only about 3 being successful. It was very highly regulated. This year the program is expanded to allow a lot more acreage.
The crop was popular in the early 1900s, but later banned because of its similarity to marijuana. The 2014 Farm Bill allowed for the reintroduction of the crop. Each state is setting their own rules on how to proceed with introducing and legalizing it.

nYFea Winter institUte 2019The plans for the 2019 NYFEA Institute, hosted by the Pennsylvania Young Farmers are moving along. If you don’t already have your 2019 calendar marked…the dates are December 11 – 14, 2019. The beautiful Marriott at Penn Square Lancaster is our host venue.
We have enclosed a few documents for you to keep handy. One document is the organizational chart and the other one is a list of committee chairs and committee members at large. It is time for YOU to decide which committee(s) you want to help with and reach out to that committee chair. If you are unsure of what each of these committees include…please contact either Dan or Denise and they will get you an overview of each committee responsibilities.
We are in the stage of planning where we are organizing the tours, Taste of PA, the institute agenda, and much more. This is where we need input from our PYFA members. If you have an idea for a tour location…contact our Tour chairman. We will need EVERYONE helping us secure sponsorships, door prizes, exhibitors, and auction items. If you work closely with an agribusiness in your area, contact Lizzie Bailey to obtain a sponsorship form. We are asking our members to do a personal visit or
mailing out a sponsorship letter and following up with a visit. Personal connections build relationships. Many of us have been building relationships for years…show them a way that they can give back to your organization.
It will take the work of many for us to put on a great institute for those in attendance. We will be working hard over the next year and a half...but we will have a fun time doing so. If you are interested in joining the committee please contact Dan or Denise so that you can be put on our email
distribution list. We invite everyone to attend our next meeting on Sunday, July 15th at Lizzie Bailey’s home in Shippensburg. This will be held in conjunction with our summer picnic. Details will be going out to committee members in the weeks prior to the meeting/summer picnic...be sure to be on our mailing list.

2018 PYFa Winter ConFerenCeThe Pennsylvania Young Farmers Association held their annual win-ter conference February 6-8 at Seven Springs Mountain Resort, hosted by the Berlin Brothersvalley and Rock-wood Young Farmers chapters of Somerset County.
Guy Chemical Company was the site of the first tour. Founded in 1995, the company now has 130 employ-ees and produces one million pieces of silicone and epoxy products each day for nationally known companies. They recently completed a new pro-duction and storage facility to keep up with their growing business.
Baer Brothers Maple Camp was the second stop. Somerset is the #1 county in Pennsylvania for maple production. Baer Brothers has 5000 trees tapped and produces 1500-2000 gallons of maple syrup annu-ally. The sap run has already begun this season, with cold nights and days above freezing needed to start
the flow. The season can last from four to ten weeks, depending on the weather. It takes about 60 gallons of sap to produce one gallon of syrup. Baer Brothers still uses a wood fire to boil down the sap, along with a reverse osmosis process to shorten the cooking time.
Educational workshops are always a part of the conference. Tammy Colt, Regional Wildlife Diversity Biologist for the PA Game Commission, spoke about the Hunter Access Program and its benefits to farmers. The program has existed since 1936 and now has 14,000 properties with 2.6 million acres enrolled. Participating landowners can receive consultation and assistance with habitat improve-ments, liability protection, and even discounts on hunting licenses.
Justin Croner, from Growmark FS’s Mifield Analytics Team, showed new equipment to enable variable rate
planting of seed and application of fertilizer to increase efficiency and crop yield. He also spoke on the benefits of crop scouting by satel-lite, plane, or drone imagery to de-termine areas of the field needing more or less fertilizer or seed.
Thursday’s tour visited the Inter-national Conservation Center, a facility of the Pittsburgh Zoo to research, breed, and conserve Afri-can elephants. The site has housed elephants since 2008 and currently is home to five elephants, three of which were rescued from Botswana in 2011. Visitors were fascinated by the huge animals and their behavior.
Phil Martz, from Somerset Rural Electric Cooperative, brought their powerline safety demonstration trail-er and showed the dangers of electric
Gary Weimer, Grace Hoppes, Denise & Keith Leydig, Jason Rentzel PYFA President
At the Wednesday evening banquet. Representative Carl Walker Metzgar presented a proclamation of PA Young Farmers week in Pennsylva-nia. PA Department of Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding spoke about the Strategic Plan for PA Ag-riculture recently released and the economic analysis of agriculture in the Commonwealth.
The Outstanding Community Ser-vice Award was presented to Dennis J. Boop, of the Mifflinburg Young Farmers Chapter, at the recent PYFA Winter Conference. Boop co-chaired a Community Farm Safety Day at Ard’s Farm Market at Lewisburg, PA, conducted in cooperation with the Mifflinburg Hose Company. During the safety day, farm hazards were demonstrated to the public, such as PTO entanglements, tractor roll-overs, equipment hazards with ma-chines such as forage harvesters, combines and grain bin entrap-ments. Dennis and his wife Tam-my are very active in Christ United Lutheran Church, serving on the Easter Egg Committee for 20 years where they help make and distrib-ute 25,000 peanut butter and coco-nut eggs every year as the church’s
main fundraiser. Dennis also serves as secretary for the Mifflinburg Ag Ed Advisory Committee since 2015 and has been a 4-H leader for 20 years. He is currently on Union County’s 4-H Advisory Committee.
Dr. John Ewing, Associate Profes-sor of Agricultural and Extension Education and the Undergraduate Program Coordinator at Penn State, was presented the Honorary Young Farmer Award for his work with the PYFA.
Keith and Denise Leydig, Berlin Brothersvalley Young Farmers Chap-ter, were awarded the Richard Hop-pes Memorial Award for their long-time service to PYFA. Both have served as state president. They are also active in their community-- Keith is 1st assistant chief of the Berlin Fire Dept. and has served on the Somerset County Conservation Board. Denise is a director for Som-erset County Farm Bureau. Both are active members of Holy Trinity Lu-theran Church.
Outstanding Young Farmer Advi-sor was awarded to Gary Weimer of the Rockwood YF Chapter, Somerset County. Gary organized the 19 edu-
cational meetings and tours for the Rockwood Chapter last year. He also assists Berlin Chapter in planning the educational County meetings. Gary has dedicated his career to agri-culture, having grown up on a dairy farm, obtained a degree in Agricul-ture at West Virginia University and Penn State University, by teaching Vo-ag and being an advisor for FFA and Young Farmers for many years.
Jason Rentzel of Somerset YF was re-elected President of PYFA for 2018. Lizzie Bailey, Shippensburg YF, will serve as President-Elect. Also re-elected were secretary Becky Nas, Gettysburg; Treasurer Ed Zug, Solan-co; Eastern Region Vice Presidents Ken Sanner, Kutztown and Dan Fox, Ephrata; Northern Vice Presi-dent Steve Kline, Mifflinburg; and Western Vice President Judy Croner, Berlin Brothersvalley; Membership chair Debbie Zug, Solanco; and Pub-lic Relations chair Jennifer Balmer, Cedar Crest Young Farmers.

where they are graded by federal/state inspectors and stored until sold, about 53,000 tons per season grown in a 12 county area. The loads are probed in 15 places and dried or cleaned if necessary. The load must be below 10.4% moisture and below 7% foreign material. Peanut harvest begins the third week in August.
A new type of peanut grown is high oleic, preferred by candy makers be-cause of its longer shelf life, but it does not grade as high or yield as much as the other types so a $50 per ton premium is given.
The final tour stop was Circle F Farms, owned by Woody Folsom. He has 2000 acres with 800 head of reg-istered Brahmin cattle, plus 8 Chev-rolet dealerships. He stressed having
a good vaccination program, excel-lent breeding, and gentle treatment of the animals.
Saturday morning two speakers, Chip Bridges, an ag teacher, and Greg Williams, cotton and peanut farmer, spoke about challenges and opportunities in Georgia agricul-ture and how the GA Dept. of Educa-tion supports agriculture education in the schools. Georgia has 42,000 FFA students and 474 ag teachers supported 70% by the state and 30% by the school district.
NYFEA officers for the coming year are Stan Deal, GA, president; Kenny Boyd, AL, president elect, Pam Ber-ning, IN, past president, and Tim Faulkner, SC, secretary.
The Institute wrapped up with the announcement of winners of the Ag Communication Awards — Social Media winner Justin Kurtz, PA, and Press Release winner, Wyatt Law, IN. Next year’s Institute will be held in Rogers, Arkansas, December 12-15, 2018.

Savannah is their North American headquarters and only factory in North America, covering 55,000 sq.ft.. and 1000 acres.
Joseph Cyril Bamford, founder of JCB, invented the backhoe loader in 1953, and today half of all back-hoes sold are built by JCB. Attendees were treated to demonstrations of all types of equipment, from small skid steers to large loaders, as well as a tour through the factory. The Savannah plant builds 8 skid steers, 50-60 backhoes, and 80-90 loaders each day. Each skid steer contains 5000 parts. JCB also offers an in-tern program for new high school graduates, in which they earn two associates degrees and a bachelors degree while learning on-the-job in five years.
The next stop was Ottawa Farms, 900 acres offering pick your own berries, Angus cattle, and agri-tour-ism features. Over 6000 school chil-dren tour the farm each year, the last remaining farm in the county.
The Mighty Eight Air Force Muse-um was the location of Thursday’s dinner, featuring Georgia Commis-sioner of Agriculture Gary Black and delicious, local Leopold’s ice cream. The museum contains the City of Savannah B-17 bomber from WWII.
Friday’s tour left the hotel early and traveled to Appling County, where the County Farm Plant Company was founded in 1988 by James and Maria Cook. This farm produces wholesale bedding plants, vegetable transplants, hanging baskets, and a retail garden center.
Attendees saw demonstrations of the automatic seeder and automatic transplanter, that plants 800-1000 trays per day, which is the amount delivered daily to 200 customers in a 140 mile radius. The Cook fami-ly and 35 full-time and 10 seasonal employees operate 45 greenhouses covering 254,000 square feet. They grow over 100,000 flats of bedding and vegetable plants, over 375,000 pots, and over 100,000 hanging baskets annually.
The next stop was Southeastern Gin & Peanut, which employs 24 full-time with a maximum 80 during harvest season which begins in mid October. Five hundred pound bales of cotton are run through the three
cotton gins, baled, and wrapped in plastic. While there are some cotton fac-tories in NC, 80% of the cotton is exported to be manufactured and then returned to the U.S.
The company owns wag-ons and semi-trailers that farmers use to deliver their peanuts to this location
