Fueling ‘fit futures’ with fresh
Marva Maid milk
H
igh impact athletes demand high impact nutrition to keep their bodies
strong and healthy – the same goes for school students. Whether they’re fueling up to guard the gridiron or ace an exam, they all share one secret
weapon – milk.
It is no surprise to dairy farmers that milk is essential for replenishing minds and muscles
alike. With high quality proteins and the ability to rehydrate critical nutrients, it is known for its
performance edge – and the fresher, the better. In a pursuit to provide customers with the purest
products, Marva Maid turns to their experts in freshness – Maryland & Virginia dairy farmers.
“Marva Maid milk comes straight from your local farm; not some cow on the other side of
the country,” said Brian Linney, Maryland & Virginia’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Because of this,
we are able to provide our customers with nourishing, value-added products packed with a freshness that cannot be beat.”
By partnering with the Fuel Up to Play 60 (FUTP60) program, Marva Maid encourages stu-
dents to take their commitment to a healthy lifestyle to the next level by making smarter eating
decisions and finding ways to stay active for at least 60 minutes every day.
Founded by the National Dairy Council and the NFL, FUTP60 challenges kids to stay
healthy, in school and at home. Students dedicated to participating in the FUTP60 program are
leading the charge in changing the lifestyles of their peers within communities nationwide.
“It’s always fun to watch the kids get excited about getting involved in the program,” said
Laurie Savage, Dickerson, Md. member and dairy farmer representative for the FUTP60 initiative. Laurie makes a point to travel to schools in and around the Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
regions, educating kids about dairy farms and the importance of milk. Both the Baltimore Ravens
and Washington Redskins have embraced working with dairy and FUTP60 promoters like Laurie.
“It’s a great opportunity to get them engaged in healthy habits while giving them a better
idea about where their milk comes from.”

Baker Farm, Brad and James Baker, Martinsburg, Pa.
“It keeps us out of trouble,” Brad Baker said, with a smile and a shrug. Brothers Brad and James have been farming their grandfather’s farm
in Martinsburg, Pa. together since 1989. Their grandfather moved up from a more southern region of Pennsylvania in 1936 and started the dairy
farm. In 1977 their father passed away in a farming accident and their mother took the reins and kept the farm going until the brothers could
take over. Today, they milk 120 cows in the stanchion barn they inherited. As the neighboring farms became available, the Bakers bought three
farms around them, creating their current network of four connected farms. With the help of their children, they currently farm 400 acres.

Barrier Dairy Farm, Max and Cecil Barrier, Mount Pleasant, N.C.
Brothers Max and Cecil Barrier are the third generation on their farm in Mount Pleasant, N.C. and the second generation of dairy farmers.
“Our Grandfather owned the land in row crops and forestry. He had a saw mill,” Cecil Barrier said. In 1951 they installed their first
parlor and began milking cows by hand. By 1972, the brothers had taken over the farm. Currently they are milking around 60 head and
have around 50 replacement heifers. They grow corn, soy beans, oats, barley and hay on their 400 acres and an additional 300
acres that they rent. They also run a custom harvesting business and Max raises chickens for Tyson Chicken.

Compared to 2009
Jerry and Becky Bechtel, Martinsburg, Pa.
Twenty five years ago, Jerry Bechtel decided to start a dairy farm. He wasn’t a stranger to the dairy industry, “I bred cows for 17 years before starting my own herd,” he said. Currently, Jerry has 110 acres in Martinsburg, Pa., where he grows corn and hay and milks around 65
cows. His herd consists of Holsteins and a few Jerseys, all registered. He tries to market between 15 and 20 cows a year. Jerry always
stays busy, donating his time to various organizations, including the youth livestock club. “A farmer’s work is never done,” his wife Becky
said. “Jerry’s motto at the end of the day is ‘Let’s just do one more extra thing’.”

Brubaker Crystal Spring Farm, Barbara Nissley, Conrad and Eric Brubaker, Mifflintown, Pa.
Conrad and Eric are the fourth generation on Brubaker Crystal Springs Farm. They are still in the dairy business because of their mother,
Barbara. In the fall of 1986 Barbara’s husband passed away. The boys were young and still in school, yet they felt very strongly that the
family continue to milk cows. “So we did,” Barbara said. An older cousin helped out while the boys finished school. “We enjoyed doing
what we were doing,” Conrad explained of his determination. “We had the facilities and felt that if we were given the opportunity we should
continue. It’s been a good place to raise our kids and family. It’s a good lifestyle.” They currently milk around 70 cows in a tie stall.

Bowman Dairy, Inc, Bowman Family, Julian, N.C.
The Bowman family has been working hard on their family farm in Julian, N.C. for many generations. Four generations of Bowmans are
currently on the farm. Chris Bowman, a part of the sixth generation, says that when he was growing up it was a “four can a day dairy.” “I
do remember, as a kid, hauling milk to town in cans,” he says. In 1947 they started producing Grade A Milk with six cows and today, they
milk around 175. In addition to running a dairy, they started a creamery on the farm -Homelands Creamery - where they have been bottling
milk and making ice cream for 14 years. Paige, the seventh generation, runs the creamery. “We’ve come a long way,” Chris said. “I wish
my dad was here to see what has transpired.”
C. Richard Mosemann Jr.
Coltrane Dairy, LLC, Coltrane Family, Pleasant Garden, N. C.
“I always liked dairy farming,” David Coltrane commented. He grew up on the family’s dairy farm in Pleasant Garden, N. C., back when
it was a little ways down the road. The Coltranes started the farm in 1956 and moved the cows to their current location in 1995. When
they moved, they were milking 170; now they’re milking around 700. The Coltranes recently installed a new double 16 herringbone
parlor. They also recently put in a sand separation system to recoup the sand bedding and be able to use it again. David and his wife,
Amy, have three sons - Will, and twins, Lemuel and Joseph. David’s parents, Branson and Kay, still help out around the farm as well.

Quarter-Century Celebrations
Quarter-Century Celebrations
Walter, Sandra and Joseph Davis, Forest, Va.
Walter Davis was born into the dairy business. “My dad drove a milk truck, picking up the milk in cans,” he recounts. “My momma milked on
the dairy farm.” Walter is still milking on that dairy in Forest, Va. It was started in 1966 when his maternal grandparents moved from New London. Walter’s father wanted him to have beef cows instead of dairy, but “I loved dairy,” Walter said. He does raise around 70 beef cows in addition to the 70 dairy cows he milks. His son, Joseph, works on the farm as well. “I was laid off my job,” Joseph said, describing how he came
to work full-time on the dairy, “and three months later they wanted me to come back, at the start of corn chopping season. Family came first.”
Talley-Ho Farms, Ricky and Beth Talley, Olin, N.C.
“He fell in love with a farm girl.” That’s how Beth Talley says her husband, Ricky Talley, entered the dairy business. Beth’s grandfather,
R. K. Williams, started the farm in Olin, N.C. in 1936. After him, her father Joe took it over. But when Beth married Ricky, they didn’t
go straight back to the family farm. After a period away, however, they made their way back 27 years ago. Now, they have around 350
head of Holsteins and Jersey-Holstein crossbreeds. They grow corn, soybeans, wheat and hay on 400 acres and are able to meet all
their feed requirements. Their daughter, Kasey, is the fourth generation working on the farm.
Mark and Carolyn Gutshall, Carlisle, Pa. (not pictured)
Teer Farms, Inc, Chapel Hill, N.C.
“I reckon insanity must run in the family,” Kathy Teer Crumpler laughed. She is currently part of the fourth generation working on the
farm with her sister, Sarah Teer Holt, and her brother, Michael Teer. Her nephew, Andrew Teer, is also involved in the farm. Charlie and
Thom Teer started the dairy farm in 1927. They used a cream separator to divide the milk between the cream and skim. The pigs were
fed the skim and the cream was hauled to an ice cream plant in Durham. Today, the family is milking around 120 cows and farming
550 acres, 350 on the farm and an additional 200 rented acres. They grow soybeans, barley, wheat, oats, corn and sorghum for silage.
The Teers share the various farming responsibilities, including grinding their own feed. “Everybody has done it all at least once,” Sarah
said. They all agree that they work well together as a family.
Rohart Farms, Hartung Family, Mercersburg, Pa.
Although the older Hartung generation is not originally from Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, they have been in the dairy business for three
generations. “We had a 100 acre farm in New Jersey,” Kathy said. She described how the area was becoming more and more developed and when a developer made them an offer, they couldn’t refuse it. “We wanted to keep farming and there just wasn’t anyway to
do it there.” So they moved to Pennsylvania and spent two years searching for a dairy, finally settling in Mercersburg. They currently milk
250 cows and raise 250 replacement heifers. The Hartungs also grow all of their own feed on 800 acres of corn, barley, alfalfa and grass.
“It’s very much a family operation,” Kathy said. Her granddaughter, Kayla, has also helped on the farm when she is home from college.
Vales-Pride Farm, The Valentine Family, Emmitsburg, Md.
When Mike and Denise Valentine first started dating, he didn’t know she lived on a dairy farm. She grew up on a commercial dairy
farm, and wasn’t involved in showing animals. “She was the one that grew up on the farm, but I was the one that showed cows,”
Mike Valentine said. “I grew up on a five acre farmette and showed cows in 4-H,” he explained. Mike worked on a dairy farm for 10
years after high school. In April of 1989, Mike and Denise started renting a dairy, which they bought in 1994. They currently milk 125
cows with their only paid employee, their daughter Mandy. They also work 500 acre – 213 of which the own, the rest they rent from
family and neighbors.
Sam Heishman, Woodstock, Va.
Sam Heishman is a self-made dairy man, spending most of his life milking for others. He spent years at his brother-in-law’s farm, High Hope
Dairy. “During this time [at High Hope Dairy] I was accumulating heifers with the hope of someday having my own herd,” Sam said. In
1989 he took his 35 heifers and started his own dairy on a leased farm. He is currently milking around 50 cows with the help of his
family. “I pretty much did it all myself up until eight years ago,” he commented. “My wife does the milking now.” Carol, his wife, milks
in a double four herringbone parlor. Over all, “it’s been good to us,” Sam said.
Justice West, Littleton, N.C.
Justice West has been milking cows since he was five years old. When he was seven his dad purchased a farm in Littleton, N.C., and
for the past 70 years, that is where Justice has been. He milks around 100 cows in a barn that North Carolina State University built. It
was originally built as a 24 stanchion barn, but he converted it into a double-6 parlor to accommodate his growing herd. His family has
all helped out on the farm. His daughter Robin currently helps milk. “Anyone who lives on a dairy farm should know how to milk cows,
because at some time they’re going to have to,” Justice said.
Raymond and Janet Hoover, Newville, Pa. (not pictured)
Ned V. Hudson and Sons, Hudson Family, Rocky Mount, Va.
Ned Hudson started milking cows by hand when he was 25 years old. That was 67 years ago. At that time, they had 20 cows in a stanchion barn. Today, he and his sons milk 70 cows in a double-nine parlor on the same farm in Rocky Mount, Va. They started producing Grade
A milk in 1967. Everything they have, they built themselves. Ned remembers the days when he worked the land with horses. “Daddy
had three and I had one,” he said. “He’d let me borrow them and I let him borrow mine, and we had a team.” In addition to his love
for farming, Ned also enjoyed bowling. Ned remembers "That was my vacation... I’d go bowling. I went just about all over the country.”
Robert West Dairy, Philip West, Littleton, N.C.
“My dad had six kids, so he started a dairy farm,” said Philip West. Phillip still milks on the farm his father started in Littleton, N.C. According to Philip, after World War II, the government gave his father a 1500 GI loan, which he used to purchase a farm. “Back then,
you had your choice of a tobacco field, cotton field, or dairy barn. And the sun didn’t shine in a dairy barn,” Philip joked, explaining his
father’s reasoning behind choosing to go into the dairy business. But dairy wasn’t completely foreign to the family. Philip’s grandfather
sold cows. Philip remembers going around with his grandfather to different farms when he was younger. He currently milks around 85
cows and has a great respect for his dairy cows. “Cows are like children,” he said, “If you love them and respect them, they’ll turn out
to be good citizens.”
David and Kendra Martin, Hagerstown, Pa. (not pictured)
M. M. Newlin and Sons Dairy Farm, Walter and Wilbur Newlin, Mebane, N.C.
Brothers Walter and Wilbur Newlin are the fourth generation on their farm in Mebane, N.C. They grew up on the dairy that their
father’s grandmother bought. In 1953 they entered the “milk business,” as Walter calls it, describing as what they were doing before
as producing “barnyard milk.” The brothers currently milk around 80 cows on their 450 acre farm, of which they grow crops on 200 acres.
They do all of the work themselves with the help of a hired man, Coy Water. Coy is the second generation of his family to work with
the Newlin family as his father worked on the Newlin’s farm before him.
Triple W. Farms, Inc, Harold Woody, Snow Camp, N.C.
“I just go in and say, ‘what can we get done today’,” Harold Woody said of the year he spent building his free stall barn. It is that positive attitude that has lead him to spend his life in the dairy business. As the third generation on his family’s dairy farm in Snow Camp,
N.C., Harold has been milking for most of his life. “I started milking with my dad in March of 1968,” he said. He currently milks 180
cows and has an additional 250 head of young stock, heifers and steers. He farms a total of 140 acres, 80 of which he rents. Harold
credits his father, George Woody, with a lot of his current success. “He was very dedicated to giving his time to the dairy. We couldn’t
have accomplished what we have done without his generosity.”
Shatzer Farm, Thomas Shatzer, Chambersburg, Pa.
Thomas Shatzer grew up on a crop farm, but never pictured himself as a dairy farmer. That was until he went to work on a neighbor’s dairy farm and learned to love the dairy lifestyle. In 1989, he was presented with the opportunity to farm 50 acres. “A poultry
farm bought the whole farm, but only wanted the land on the other side [of the road],” said Thomas. He now milks 65 Holsteins, with
the help of his family, on that original 50 acre farm. He was also able to purchase 80 additional acres and rents some as well,
farming over 400 acres total where he is able to sell some of the hay and straw every year.

Dynamic Duo: e Quaker Oats Man & the Milk Mustache
For the first time since 1877, the Quaker Oats Man, affectionately known as Larry, is
donning a new accessory – the iconic Milk Mustache. Larry's new 'stache puts him in
good company among a long and impressive line-up of actors, athletes and musicians
who have worn the iconic Milk Mustache. It's all part of a partnership between America's Milk Companies, dairy farm families and Quaker Oats, that's designed to encourage Americans to make their oatmeal with low-fat milk instead of water and
serve it alongside a glass of milk for a boost of protein. The Milk Mustache ad featuring Larry's new
important accessory debuted September 19 as part of People Magazine's "Best Dressed" issue. In addition,
the image will be featured on Quaker Oats canisters, marking this the first time a Milk Mustache has made
its way on-shelves in the grocery aisle. "Quaker has encouraged consumers to lead a healthy lifestyle for
more than 135 years," says Justin Lambeth, chief marketing officer of Quaker Oats. "With Larry sporting a Milk
Mustache, families will be reminded to start their days with this ultimate breakfast powerhouse."

Academy Award-winning filmmaker James Moll’s feature length documentary, Farmland,
is now available to stream on the free, ad-supported Hulu and Hulu Plus subscription

weeks – providing viewers with the opportunity to stream it from their connected TVs, Bluray players, gaming consoles, laptops, tablets and mobile devices. During its debut this year,
Farmland was shown in more than 170 theaters across the country and received notable attention – securing reviews in several national mediums and recognition in film festivals across
the country – and earning a 92% audience rating on RottenTomatoes.com. Farmland takes the viewer inside
the world of farming for a first-hand glimpse into the lives of six young farmers and ranchers in their twenties. Through personal stories, viewers learn about their high-risk/high-reward jobs and passion for a way
of life that has been passed down from generation to generation, yet continues to evolve. “The world of
farming is complex and often controversial, but the farmers themselves are some of the most hard-working
and fascinating people I’ve ever met”says Moll. Farmland was made with the generous support of the U.S.
Farmers & Ranchers Alliance®. Watch the official trailer at www.farmlandfilm.com. Watch Farmland in its
entirety on Hulu at www.hulu.com/farmland. – USFRA News release
