Experts Predict Increased
Farm Pollution Regulation
Two national agricultural
leaders declared that there will
be increasingly strict and costly
pollution regulations placed on
those who produce farm products
but farmers cannot respond to
every request.
This observation was made last
week at Penn State by Edmund
H. Fallon, senior vice president
and chief administrative officer
of Agway, Inc., Syracuse, N.Y.;

thousands of years to put us in
our present dilema,” Fallon said.
He added that there is a
scarcity of many fruit and
vegetable crops in the Northeast
and the recent floods have caused
a shortage of many other farm
products. There is just a small
proportion of farmers left to feed
our nation’s population and they
must produce at maximum ef
ficiency.
“Consumerism is rapidly
becoming a real power center,”
Fallon emphasized. “There will
be a vast expansion of programs
for policing farm and industrial
safety in addition to en
vironmental quality.”
Sims, also a farm operator,
pointed out that agricultural
producers are competing with
real estate developers, who, if
they do not purchase land, cause
values to rise. This, in turn, in
creases tax burdens which fur
ther reduce profits.
“It is very desirable for both
people living in cities and far
mers to keep agriculture as
prosperous as possible,” Sims
said. “We still have hunger in
cities and rural areas and need a
continued supply of food to those
affected.”
He noted that farming is an
industry and, therefore, top-flight
executives are needed to run
farm businesses.
Other speakers at the con
ference were Dr. Russell E.
Larson, University provost, who
made a presentation on “Your
College of Agriculture Today;”
Dr. David R. McClay, acting
dean of the College of
Agriculture; and Lester M.
Shughart, of Agway, Inc.,
Harrisburg.

Egg production in Penn
sylvania last month was off one
percent from the record
established for September in
1971, according to the Crop
Reporting Serive.
Although the production per 100
layers was up by more than two
eggs at the end of the month, a
reduction in the size of the laying
flock of nearly 400,000 hens
yielded only 304 million eggs, a
drop of 4 million
The average price for all
grades and sizes of eggs on
September 15 was 31 cents per
dozen. This is one cent more than
on August 15 but the same price
being paid a year ago.
Egg production m the U S. was
off even more than in Penn
sylvania during September. The
5,571 million eggs produced in the
30-day period—enough for two
dozens each for every man,
woman and child in the country—
was still three percent fewer than
a year ago.
Pennsylvania produced 3,626
million eggs in 1971 to rank third
behind California and Georgia
