Bucher, who grew up on his family's dairy farm, has assisted the Kentucky Mountains Feeder Pig Co-op with a membership of 30 farmers. He is a graduate of Annville- Cleona High School and McPhorson College. Kansas. The cooperative managed by Bucher was established in 1970 to help low income farmers in eastern Kentucky supplement their income through the production and sale of feeder pigs. The co-op is located in Wolfe and Breathitt counties, which are among the economically poorest in the nation.

The idea for the co-op was formulated by the commission on religion in Appalachia (CORA), a coalition of 17 denominations and ten state councils of churches working in the 13-state Appalachian area. "A feeder pig operation is a good idea for this area due to the lack of level land to raise feed," Bucher said. 'Feeder pigs are raised to 50 pounds and then sold to farmers specializing in raising pigs for slaughter. A feeder pig operation is beneficial in eastern Kentucky because local people have little capital but an abundance of labor. "It is my job to visit members of the co-op to discuss management and scientific farming techniques.

"Besides marketing the pigs, Parish Board OKs Bylaws St. Paul the Apostle Parish Advisory Board met in the church hall on Sunday evening. Mickey Santora, president, was in charge. Sister St. Albert, newly appointed to the board, was introduced.

Bucher the co-op buys feed in quantity and sells it to its members cheaper than retail outlets. The co-op also provides medicines and minimal veterinary services. "It has been a fantastic learning experience.

Eastern Kentucky is a unique part of the country. It is quite a different thing to work with farmers who only have a half or an acre of flat tillable land. The steep hills here cannot be tilled. "I think that besides supplementing their income, farmers belonging to the co-op have increased the quality of their breeding stock and the quality of the meat they eat as well. "Mostly, the people here are suspicious of People coming into this region have at times misrepresented themselves to Appalachian people.

"This section of Central Appalachia is rich in limber and coal wealth. Yet, the people are poor by and large. All of the coal and timber wealth goes out of this region, and many local people believe strongly (and with good reason) that they and their ancestors have been 'hoodwinked' by outside interests. "I have found my alternate service in eastern Kentucky to involve not really "helping" people in the paternalistic ways, but rather in sharing information and ideas with them. We have worked cooperatively together.

And, I have learned much from this experience," Bucher said. Roger Conner Heads Hershey Estates PR Roger W.
