The two should be able to agree on several basic facts concerning farming, he said. These would be that a prosperous farming community benefits everyone; and that there must be some government involvement in agriculture. Mentioning other problems facing agriculture, Lyng touched on pollution controls, farm labor, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and increased regulation of chemicals used both in food and for farming. He called for a repeal of the Delaney amendment to the Food and Drug Act. This is the amendment which prohibits any trace, no matter how small, of any known cancer-producing agent, m any human food. Recently, the Food and Drug Administration banned the use of diethylstilbesterol (DES) in cattle feed because traces of the drug had been showing up in steer livers Lyng said in creasingly effective detection methods had made the Delaney amendment obsolete. Lyng pointed out that U.S agriculture has been hailed as one of the wonders of the world. “Three percent of our people produce all the food for our country plus another $lO billion worth of food for export,” he said “We can do this here because our agriculture is an industry that uses massive amounts of capital and technology to replace massive amounts of labor ” There were other speakers at the dinner besides Lyng Outgoing Chamber of Commerce president Albert C Wedge talked about the prosperous mixture of agriculture and industry which exists in the county Three major problems con fronting farmers m the county today were outlined by Daniel L Martin, dair> farmer and a member of the chamber’s agriculture committee, at the wnrs* power worlds largest V Zx MFG.OF \ r TRACTOR-DRIVEN I ALTERNATORS INSURE YOUR i -ARM OPERATIONS | AGAINST POWER I O'JT/ GES HAVE I EXPERIENCED PEOPLE | INS">uL 0 SIR v'ICE MOf Ckii mk~ A 'L^IC%m.QWE€ "i OLI r : r HRAT L Pk 17522 rHCME; Al7l 733-7911 I'lrrnr.' vmo.' r ,T o? © ’■owtriool.'tecialisis annual Agriculture Industry Banquet Thursday. Martin said these problems include an inflating economy, which finds the farmers at the tail end; the rapid growth of the Lancaster area, which is a threat to the agricultural community; and the shadow of tax reassessment which could price farmers out of business if they are taxed on the potential use of their land, rather than its agricultural use. County Agent Max Smith was the last speaker of the evening. He pointed to the constant pressures of urban sprawl, and the toll it takes in county far mland. He then urged the Chamber of Commerce to be as energetic in preserving agriculture here in the next ten years as it has been promoting tourisim in the county and taking land out of farm production in the past ten years. ► POWER .
