Pork products featur ed are ham, steaks, crown loin roast, loin roast, stuffed chops, and Boston Roll. “With the cooperative effort of all segments of the industry producer, packer-processor, retail outlet and the scientific community, pork has establish ed itself as a nourishing, appe tizing food item,” noted Robert .W. Nelson, Pork Industry Com mittee Secretary. “The produc er, with the help of scientific feeding and breeding develop ments, has put more-meat and less fat into today’s pork ani mal. The packer-processor and retailer have picked up from there with new ideas on cuts with a closer trim. There’s no doubt about pork being an at tractive, acceptable food. Unfor tunately, many consumers still are unaware of pork’s first-class status. Campaigns such as this one, playing up to the gourmet appeal of pork, are part of the industry’s total, all-out cam paign of image-building.” Christ Landis (right) and son Jim check Hereford steers in barn yard.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 18,1968 Inter-State Economist Presents Five Proposals At Milk Hearing Dr. Paul E. Hand, economist for Inter-State Milk Producers’ Cooperative and representing its members, presented five pro posals during the Federal milk hearing last Friday, Dr. Hand’s proposals were in the form of amendments to the Delaware Valley Federal Order. “Reflecting the views of the members of Inter-State,” Dr. Hand asserted, “we did not par ticipate in the development of a market pool order for Order 4. Inter-State’s main thrust was in opposition to any market pool and not toward designing the terms of the order to prevent groups of producers not regu larly a part of this market from ‘riding the market pool’.’’ “We must meet and contend with the rapid deterioration of the Class I utilization in this market, as predicted,” Hand testified. After the market pool was YOUR 17.72 GAIN? started in the Delaware Valley area in June, 1987, a base-excess program was requested by Inter- State to be included among the provisions of the order. This program was made effective August 1, 1967. In April, prior to the change of Order 4 to a market pool, a Louisville-type program (take-out in the spring, pay-back in the fall) was in stituted in the New York-New Jersey marketing area. The or der provisions outlining the operation of the seasonal pro grams have made it possible for supply plants and producers to shift between the two markets, taking advantage of each pro gram for their personal benefit and not fulfilling any annual marketing responsibility in either market. The proposals submitted by Inter-State Milk Producers’ Co operative are intended to spell out standards which will prevent dairy farmers and plants from shifting into the Delaware Val ley order when such movements will result in disorderly market ing in Order 4. During the hearing proceed ings, Dr. Hand reemphasized the need to change the language in the order to what is necessary for orderly marketing in Order 4 and to stop supply plants and producers outside of the market from riding the market pool. Dr. Hand also proposed an amendment which would class ify skim milk and butterfat in cream sold in New York Order 2 as Class I. This proposal would coordinate the present provisions of Order 4 and Order 2. The hearing was held by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Consumer and Marketing Ser vice. Ben Holstein was the hear ing master. This was a joint hearing with the State of New Jersey Office of Milk' Industry for South Jersey. Joseph C. Mathis, Jr., represented the OMI, Trenton, N.J., and David E. Derr and Clayton Plumb represented the USDA.
