Clayton B. Erb of Landisville is named the first Hoffman Seed Man Award recipient for decades of service to Hoffman and to farmers. He began with Hoffman in the 1920s, helping seed wheat production since 1899, and at 80 remains active in the sales network.
The feeder calf sale committee offers prize money to encourage buying high quality calves for show purposes. Calves purchased at this sale and placing in the first 15 at the Garden Spot Baby Beef Show at the stockyards next August will receive awards. The awards include 25 dollars for calves in the first five placings.
A Lancaster event offers $10 prizes for sixth to fifteenth place and several fancy calves sold separately to attract youth buyers. In 1960, over 400 calves sold with averages around 2.66 per head, and a top fancy calf brought 45 per cwt. Abram Diffenbach auctioneers the placings, with a list of local bidders and addresses. Clarke spoke on winter bee care at a Lancaster County Honey Producers meeting as the club plans county honey exhibits for the State Farm Show in January.
