PH. 717-656-2321 PennAg Endorses Environmental Issues The Board of Directors of PennAg Industries Association voted support for Pennsylvania House Bill No. 588 which will regulate pesticides according to standards established by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency and the new Federal Environmental Pesticide Control Act during a recent meeting. PennAg Directors also voted to endorse the “Clean and Green” Con stitutional Amendment con cerning assessment of Penn sylvania farmland. The amend ment will appear on the up coming May 15 primary ballot. The pesticide bill has been developed around a model suggested by the American Association of Pesticide Control Officials. A study committee tailored H-588 to the needs of Pennsylvania. The committee was composed of representatives from public, private, and agricultural groups. PennAg was among the agribusiness representatives. William Angstadt, president of the Reading Bone Fertilizer Company and Chairman of Penn Ag’s Law and Legislative Committee stated, ‘ ‘ PennAg Industries Association realizes that full details of Federal regulatory standards required of states may be a few years off, but H-588 will provide effective parameters within which Pennsylvania can start to work now.” New Discovery Is Said to Assist Debilitated Horses A new long acting tissue building agent for treating debilitated horses, is being introduced nationally to the veterinary medical profession by the Animal Health Divi sion of E.

Penn Ag’s Directors also en dorsed the constitutional amendment which will provide that land may be assessed at a fair value for its use instead of a value it might bring if it were turned into a housing develop ment, industrial park or shopping center. Eugene E. Eby, H.R. Wentzel Sons, New Port, President of PennAg states, “The Association is well aware that the future ot agribusiness is directly related to the prosperity of agriculture and we support this action for both economic and environmental reasons. When the effect of taxation causes productive farmland to be abandoned or turned into a commercial-crazy quilt, we agree it is time for change. “In addition to the scrubbing action which Nature’s green provides in industrial pollutants into clean air, a near to-market network of farms will provide Pennsylvania consumers a continued supply of high quality foods.” The Association is appealing to its members and the citizens of Pennsylvania to work for the enactment of the amendment. Past Governors William W. Scranton and George M. Leader are co-chairmen of the “Clean and Green” committee which is spearheading support for the amendment to control runaway commercial development. 21
