Neppco's "Tommorrow" Theme
Tied to Industry's Livelihood
A theme which reflects the
agricultural industry’s concerns
and the livelihood of its prac
titioners “Tomorrow” has
been selected as the foundation
for Northeastern ’73, the 42nd
annual convention of the Nor
theastern Poultry Producers
Council (NEPPCO).
The three-day exposition 'will
be staged October 30 thru
November 1, at one of the
nation’s premier resorts, the
regal Hershey Hotel and Motor
Lodge in the center of Penn
sylvania’s and the northeast’s
“farm belt”.

the industry ablaze with ideas,
insight and innovations, the kind
of input producers and allied
industrymen will need to com
pete next week, next month and
next year in this fast-changing
business,” according to Hendrik
Wentink, NEPPCO president.
The popular 14-state con
vention and exposition moves
back to central Pennsylvania this
year after a four-year absence
“amid a myriad of problems
producers four years ago never
thought they’d be confronted
with,” Wentink says.
Accordingly, m-depth seminars
will be heavy on outlook, on new
merchandising ideas, cost
controls, planning precision and
insight into both price expectati
ons and anticipated government
regulations.
Because of the projected im
portance of the talks at Nor
theastern ’73, NEPPCO will
revert to its policy of staging
educational sessions and exhibit
hall openings during separate
hours.
“We’re really attempting to put
a sliderule on Tomorrow,”
Wentink reports. The talk
sessions will share the spotlight
with ne wl y-c oncei v e d
educational exhibits composed of
outstanding data from around the
world, as well as the neatly
expanded commercial exposition
housed this year in the spacious
Hersheypark Arena.
The fun-and-games aspect of
the highly-favored Hershey
resort area was not overlooked
by NEPPCO officials. They have
scheduled activities around the
famed arboretum, the oldtime
museums, Hersheypark itself,
the well-known chocolate tour,
the golf course, as well as their
own banquets, parties and in
dustry luncheons within the
resort hotel itself.
Reservations or advance data
for the big annual affair can be
made only through the NEPPCO
office at 322 Oxford Valley Road,
Fairless Hills, Pa. 19030.

Chief task of the computer is to

Recommend Amending Onion Marketing Order
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) has
recommended amending the
federal marketing order for
South Texas onions, to authorize
production research. Marketing
research and development are
already authorized.
Officials of USDA’s
Agricultural Marketing Service
said the proposal is based on
evidence received at a public
hearing held July 10, in McAllen,
Texas. The amendment and
hearing were requested by the
South Texas Onion Committee,
which administers the program
for USDA.
The recommended decision
was published in the Federal

the recommendation until Sep-

If that decision favors adoption
of the proposal, a referendum
will be held for growers in the
production area. To become
effective, the amendment must
be approved by at least two
thirds of the growers voting, by
number or by volume of
production.
