Dairy of Distinction Award Winners Lauded
Pennsylvania Ag Connection - 08/15/2018
Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding Tuesday praised winners of the annual Dairy of Distinction Awards during the Penn State College of Agricultural Science's Ag Progress Days.
"Pennsylvania dairy farms have set the bar high for quality in both appearance and output," Secretary Redding said. "The farms we're honoring today represent the exemplary image of a farm that consumers trust, and a farm that is owned and managed by someone who is a good neighbor, a good steward of land and resources, and an exemplary business."
Since 1983, the Northeast Dairy Farm Beautification Program has recognized the hard work and dedication of dairy owner-operators who have attractive, well-kept farms and promote a good dairy industry image. Active dairy farms in Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Vermont are eligible to apply for the Dairy of Distinction award. Winning farms receive the special Dairy of Distinction roadside sign for their farmstead, and undergo a yearly review to ensure that they maintain the high standards the award represents.

Clowney Family -- Lagging Stream Farm, Gettysburg, Adams County
Ryan Carbaugh -- Waterside Farm, Woodbury, Bedford County
