LET THE SUNSHINE IN WITH...
SOLAIR SYSTEMS
WE'RE INTERESTED IN ECOLOGY!
With our completely covered lots and a sun roof
with an open peak, ram water does not enter the bay
area and maximum evaporation of animal liquids is
obtained. An “all-drained” floor system is installed
and a curbed fence line keeps manure in place to be
scraped into a liquid pit or a push-off loading system
By preventing manure run-off the surrounding area is
not polluted
Yes, since your urban neighbors and government
fathers are interested in ecology, we are ready to help
you build a system that will put you ahead on the
pollution problem
And, low moisture levels in Solair Systems results in
less bacteria action and fewer odors.

Pa.-New York State
Inspection Changes
Pennsylvania and New York
State have reached a reciprocal
inspection agreement which will
encourage the sale of frozen
desserts across state lines, it was
announced today by Secretary
Jim McHale
McHale said the agreement,
which was scheduled for formal
signing October 10, would be a
boon to the Commonwealth’s
dairy farmers whose milk
products are used in frozen
desserts.
The agreement was made
Phone 548-2116
possible by Senate Bill 1330,
signed into law by Governor
Milton Shapp on June 15, which
permits the Secretary of
Agriculture to enter into
reciprocal agreements with other
states on inspection of milk and
dairy products
As a result of this new
legislation, dairy farmers in
Pennsylvania are no longer
burdened with multiple in
spections and consequent fees
when their products are sold to
states under reciprocal in
spection agreements.
In the cast of New York,
McHale explained, inspectors
from that state will no longer
have to inspect the Pennsylvania
producer and vice versa, except
for occasional spot checks
Agreements with other states
such as Maryland and Ohio are
pending.
These reciprocal inspection
agreements are now possible,
said McHale, because SB 1330
requires uniform state standards
for milk and dairy products.
Inspections are carried out by
.farm inspectors licensed and
supervised by the Department of
Agriculture and employed by
industry.
Previously, inspections fell
within the province of local
municipalities who formulated
their own regulations Therefore,
other states buying Pennsylvania
dairy products would require
their own inspectors to check
Pennsylvania farms selling to
them This meant duplicate in
spections of plants and
producers, with added inspection
fee costs
With SB 1330, said McHale,
dairy farmers in the Com
monwealth can look forward to a
cut in their overhead costs
because duplicate inspections are
eliminated
