But there will be problems, too,” Dr. William Pope told the Pennsylvania Livestock and Allied Industries Association this week. Pope is assistant dean at Texas A&M’s College of Agriculture, and was the featured speaker at the association’s first annual dinner meeting on Wednesday night at the Penn Hams Motor Inn in Camp Hill As one example of the growth of animal agriculture, Pope said that in Texas alone, livestock income was twice as much as income from crops. Not too many years ago, he said, crops ac counted for more money than animals. Pope’s slide illustrated talk was concerned with the challenges the livestock industry has met in the past as well as those it will meet in the future. “One of the things we’ve got to realize is that there’s a different kind of consumer today,” Pope said. “Women buy 75 percent of the food sold in the U.S , and they just don’t realize the producer’s problems. Her mother or gr andmother might have livedon a farm, but today’s housewife may never even have visited a farm. All she knows about food is what she sees in the supermarket.” Consumers don’t realize, Pope went on, all that farmers do for them.
