“Know (he facts and
undcistand the trends,"
Ammon tells poultrymen.
After that exciting an
nouncement, the featured
speakers role could have been
an anti-climax, but Richard
Ammon, executive director of
the Northeastern Poultry Pro
ducers’ Council ONEPPICO),
actually managed to quicken
the pace with a lively discus
sion of the future of the
southeastern Pennsylvania egg
industry.
“The south is the egig bas
ket of the east, and it is now
competing for business long
held firmly by northeastern
producers,” the N/EIPPICO of
ficial said. The northeast is
now producing about six mil
lion eggs less than it is con
suming, and the south is about
six million eggs over their
local needls, according to Am
mon.
But the trends are impor
tant in a discussion of the
future for Pennsylvania poul
trymen. Ammon toM the ga
thering of about 80 persons
that the rate of growth in tihe
southeast egg industry has
slowed significantly. “The
southeast moved into our mar
kets on the basis of price
cutting, not by promotion,”
Amimon said. He reported that
conditions down there refle’ot
many of the same problems
we have in the northeast:
pressure on egg quality; pres
sure to reduce costs by adapt
ing a business approach to
egg production!; etc.

'There aire vast individual
variations in costs of produc
tion that are more important
than variations in area costs,”
he told the poultrymen'.
Ammon predicted that
southeastern Pennsylvania,
New York, and part of Ohio
will lead the northeast in fu
ture egg production because
they “are out of the high rent
district; are near the best
markets; and are able to re
duce costs by raising part of
their owin feed.”
He cited the example of
New Jersey as a state that
will probably not figure in
that future. “In 1959 there
were 5600 poultrymen in N.
J; there are now about 1200,
and I believe that by the end
of this year the number will
be around 900,” Ammon said.
What happens to the north
eastern egg producer depends
on the course of retailing,
and on consumer preferences,
he said. He reviewed (he ac
complishments and aims of
NBPPOO, and invited the
