Greg Hartzler
Part II - Growing Up Organic
"Holsteins will outmilk just about any other breed in terms of pounds-per-day," notes Greg. He has always liked the breed and its even temperament....and as a result, never owned anything but Holsteins. His herd produces approximately 1200-1500 pounds of milk a day, which converts to over 150 daily gallons.
Greg and his wife, Jill have three children, Eli, Sondra and Korie. Eli
is his father's number one farmhand. The eight-and-a-half year old young man is quick to note his agricultural skills to the interested guest--the ability to drive a tractor. He is also well-versed in the wide array of farm machinery and equipment. Eli definitely knows his way around a milk parlor and a square baler. The young man even has his own Holstein. |
