To Be Certified
A program has boon launched
to certify Pennsylvania ict.ul
farm markets which can meet
certain requited standards, Stale
Agriculture Sccielnry Lelar. 1 H
Bull announced today
The certification program, con
ceivcd by the Slate Retail Farm
Maiket Council, will be earned
out by a newly-organized Penn
sylvania Retail Fai m Market As
sociation.
“The purpose of the certifica
tion program is to further
strengthen the growing appeal
to the consumer of retail farm
markets owned and operated by
agricultral producers,” Secretary
Bull said
A mail survey conducted by
the Slate Retail Farm Market
Council showed that a laige num
ber of Pennsylvania farmers
operating letail markets favor a
certification progiam, according
to Rudy Mohi, operator of
Mohr’s Orchards, Fogelsville,
and chan man of the Council
Similar programs are operating
in other states, he said
“To be eligible foi ceitifica
tion, markets will have to meet
certain conditions in the man
ner in which they opeiate,”
Mohr said “There will be both
rules of conduct and a code of
ethics For instance, appioved
markets will be required to
truthfully list variety and grade
of fresh produce They will train
sales personnel to be conveisant
with the types of produce offer
ed and how the housewife can
prepare and serve them ”

Farmer's Green Thumb Technique
-
3& t
Fifty years ago, a successful
farmer’s most important attri
bute was his green thumb But
today it’s more apt to be his man
agerial ingenuity—his savvy bal
ancing the use of technical know
how with the use of credit and
other resources and services at
his command.
Like entrepreneurs in non
farm businesses, the farmer re
ceives components from many
sources and puts them together
in such a way that the products
of his farm are as much a result
of mass production techniques

Lancaster Farming. .Saturday. January ?A. 1970
as is, say, the latest model car
turned out in Detroit
From the landownei, the
faimer rents more land
From various suppliers, he
buys feed, seed, fertilizer, and
pesticides.
From the machinery dealer, he
buys or leases equipment.
And from the banker he bor
rows the money he needs to
operate
As a result, more and more
farm returns leave the farm in
much the same way that a large
proportion of the net returns of
other industries flow to outside
suppliers of goods and services.
Specialization in the use of
components supplied by others
has also fostered a separation of
farming operations into those es
sentially land-based, such as
crops, and those which are land
intensive, such as livestock and
livestock products.
Except for range livestock and
cow-calf operations, most live
stock activities no longer need
lots of land.
More important to such enter
prises as broiler and egg produc
tion, beef feedlots, pig parlors,
and specialized dairy operations
are large amounts of capital and
skilled management
These operations, therefore,
are losing their farming image
and becoming less and less dis
tinguishable from nonfarm acti
vities Without the land con
straint there will be greater po
tential for firm growth. Thus,
production of these commodities
is most Ukelv to be concentrated
in large-scale production umts.
And the faimer of the future
may well find that on the farm—■
as has already happened in in
dustry organized intelligence
and managerial ingenuity are re
placing ownership as the prim©
source of power
