Can You Afford Not To Be A
LANCASTER CO. FARMERS
ASSOCIATION MEMBER?
Can you afford to lose the Pennsylvania Milk Control Law?
Can you afford to lose your farm to land-grab government schemes?
Can you afford to lose your sales tax exemption on farm supplies and ma
chinery used in production?
Can you afford the threat of legislation forcing you to purchase, a license to
haul manure?
Can you afford to lose your farm to “open-space” schemes?
Can you afford to let your farm be managed from Washington by so-called
“Agricultural Experts?”
• Can you afford to have meat inspection legislation that would halt the
slaughtering of your own meat?
• Can you afford government regulations prohibiting your sons to work on
your farm?
• Can you afford to employ union labor on your farm?
These are just a part- of the proposed legislation that Lancaster
Co. Farmers Association members were able to stop in 1967.
But many of these threats still face us in the State General As
sembly ond Congress.
AGAIN WE ASK: Can You Afford Not To Be A
Lancaster Co. Farmers Association Member?
Lancaster Co. Farmers Association has a complete program
To fulfill its Farmer-Member Needs!
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO FARM IN 1968
YOU CAN’T AFFORD NOT TO
BE A MEMBER!
