raised pay rates for testers, we
kept the farmers’ cost at the
same level' When we get our
reserves whittled down to where
we think they should be, then
we’ll have to take another look at
our rates.”
One cost that’s been going
against the general trend has
been Penn State’s charge for
maintaining computerized
records, Robert Kreider,
delegate to the state association,
told the meeting. “Processing
records is actually getting
cheaper,” Kreider said,
“because the newer computers
are so much more efficient.
Computerized life history sheets
will be available to all DHIA
members shortly, and they won’t
cost us anything extra.”
Kreider said the computerized
life history sheets will be
prepared over the next few

months as DHIA testers send
back records to the university.
These can be used instead of the
old life history sheets, but if the
farmer wants his old sheets kept
up, it will be the tester’s
responsibility to maintain them.
Discussing benefits for testers,
the group voted to support a
move by the state association to
investigate a retirement
program. Several sources of
retirement funds were men
tioned, with the strongest can
didate seeming to be a one-cent
per cow per month payment by
members and an equal amount
paid by testers. Kreider said the
program would take a number of
years until it was working
properly, and that it would be
difficult inadequately reward the
men and women who’ve been
working for a long time without
any pension program The
pension plan woidd probably cost
the State DHIA about $50,000
annually, Kreider noted.
In other action, the board voted
to continue health insurance
coverage for supervisors at its
present level. The county
association presently pays the
full cost of a tester’s health in
surance coverage, but does not
pay anything for members of his
family.
The board also voted to hold a
joint meeting with the super
visors sometime in the near
future,
