PennAg Board Opposed
To Fertilizer Embargo
In response to legislation
sponsored by 125 U. S.
Congressmen to place an
embargo on fertilizer ex
ports, PennAg Industries
Association’s Board of
Directors has voted to op
pose such a bill.
The Association directors
feel that private business
should provide the solutions
to the problem of fertilizer
shortages. Although there
may be some difficult times
ahead, the board felt that an
embargo at this time would
disrupt the world fertilizer
markets. They also brought
planning at the Sperry Rand
headquarters.
In other organization
changes at Sperry New
Holland, John S. Keister has
been appointed a vice
president. Keister is
responsible for the com
pany’s worldwide
development of new markets
and acquisitions and will
now also be accountable for
long-range planning.
Melvin J. Happe, former
engineering director for the
European Division, has been
named vice president for
engineering. North America.
Sperry New Holland is the
world’s largest manufac-
turer of specialized farm
equipment. The firm em
ploys 10,000 people in seven
countries and has salesln 70
countries. l '

' “By denying foreign
countries United States
fertilizer,” stated PennAg
Vice President Donald W.
Parke, “how can we expect
those countries not to place
embargos on fertilizer
ingredients that we need. We

out the fact that the United
States exported 3.7 million
tons and imported 3.9 million
tons of fertilizer materials
between July and December

Just as much as we need
phosphates from Florida.”
Parke also brought out
that because of larger than
usual fertilizer applications
during the fall of 73, there is
a good chance that a sub
stantial fertilizer shortage
may not materialize.
