BIOGRAPHIE: E-Mail from Michelle Pritzl Wood - 7 August, 2000 Prestdale was the name my grandfather Charles picked for the farm when he decided to register his cows with the American Guernsey Association back in 1928 or so. He submitted a couple of names that he thought up, but they had already been taken by someone else on the registry so they sent him a list and he picked Prestdale. The farm was passed onto my dad when Grandpa died in 1970. For the last 15 years Dad had run the farm with the help of a very wonderful "hired man" and his wife. Now Mom runs it with Mike's help. Mom also works outside the farm as an office manager at a gas plant in Nampa, Idaho. The small dairy business is getting tougher and tougher with all the new "corporate" type dairies around now with herds of 1,000 or more. Mom's little farm milks about 60 to 65!!! Milk prices are the lowest price per hundred weight that they've been in a long time. Funny thing - milk prices in the store are the highest they've been ever. Suppose that middle man is making some money??? Suzanne, Kitty and I have been trying to talk Mom into selling the cows and equipment and getting out of the business but she's just not ready to do that yet. I hope the land can always stay in the family. Grandpa and Dad worked that soil and milked those cows with a lot of love!
