Lyng
Tells
< Continued From Page 1)
an exchange of dialogue between
farm and non-farm groups. 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

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.
