Conservation and quality are one and the same for Ralph Frye. And itâs the neighborly thing to do.
The 2020 Westmoreland Conservation District Farmer of the Year credits the success of his Pleasant Lane Farms in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, to being considerate to those around him â people and the environment.
âWe do everything that we can to keep everyone pacified,â he said. âWe always try to do something better, so people donât complain, and thatâs just the name of the game.â
Farming in the extensively mined coal fields of the Allegheny Mountains is particularly challenging.
âIt seems like thereâs water coming up where you didnât have water before,â Frye said. âI got wet spots where I never had wet spots in fields now.â
The state Department of Agriculture has a suggestion for using butter left over from holiday baking.
Keystone State residents 5 or older are invited to enter “Butter Up!” a new contest that is part of this year’s virtual Pennsylvania Farm Show, set for Jan. 9-16.
Because of pandemic-related restrictions, the 105th edition of the agricultural showcase won’t bring throngs to Harrisburg. Instead, people will be able to check out a mix of live and prerecorded presentations and activities online or via televised airings on the Pennsylvania Cable Network.
In previous years, a 1,000-pound butter sculpture has been an eye-catching mainstay of the farm show. This year, residents are invited to apply their own creativity, sculpting up to 5 pounds of butter into a contest entry.
