2001
Massachusetts Outstanding Dairy Farm
Turner Farm
South Egremont, MA 01258
Congratulations to the Turner
family, Paul, Bill, and Fred on being chosen as this year's Massachusetts
Outstanding Dairy Farm. The three of them along with some of the family
members milk 120 cows and farm over 300 acres of hay and corn in the beautiful
hills of the Berkshires. They are one of the few farms around that bale
large rectangular bales in Massachusetts which they manage well. Haylage
and corn are stored both in bunkers and in bags, and their manure handling
is outstanding. Also, Paul finds time to run a maple syrup operation,
and Bill is the Town's Fire Chief.
Congratulations, Turners!
