HARRISBURG - The 60th
annual Pennsylvania Farm
Show drew to a close last
week with the grand
champion of the Junior steer
show selling for a record
$6.40 a pound, or a total of
$8,256.
Decision is a sharp knife
that cuts clean and straight;
indecision a dull one that
hacks and tears and leaves
ragged edges behind it.
The trouble with being a
leader today is that you can’t
be sure whether people are
following you or chasing you.

Agriculture Secretary

Clouds seen
dairy industry will get the short end of the stick,” he said
Backing up his claim, he proceeded to read excerpts
from a speech delivered by Earl Butz in London on Nov. 28
of last year. He pointed out that the speech was given
abroad, possibly because of the shock waves it might have
created here.
The Butz speech reads, in part- “We recognize that our
unport quotas on dairy products are onerous (bur
densome) to agricultural interests in Europe. The
countervailing duties that our law provides when products
are exported to the U.S. under subsidy are not popular
here. We believe, however, that they are justified and
necessary in the trading world that exists today.
“In any case, we are willing to lay these matters on the
negotiating table. We believe it is time to examine all
trade restrictions affecting agricultural products. We
think that trade policies should not be used to prevent
change in a world that is crying for change. We should not
use the need for stability as an excuse for status quo.
“It happens that in the U.S. we have the unique ad
vantages in the production of grains, soybeans, and
certain other field crops. Mostly, these are natural ad
vantages that we cannot take credit for but must never
theless recognize. In Europe, your climate and
topography are such as to favor forage production - hence,
livestock and dairy production. This symbiotic
relationship between your agriculture and ours suggests
an increase in trade with advantages to both sides.”
What Meyer gleans from this is that Butz might be
willing to replace a segment of the U.S. dairy industry for
the sake of trading grain with European countries.
In other comments, the editor noted that milk
production has been increasing per cow and per month,
when compared with figures a year ago. He believes that
there might be too many cows on farms right now,
probably because of the low meat prices. The feed
situation looks more favorable to livestock and dairy
production this year and he added that many Midwestern
farmers have two crops of soybeans on their farms right
now.
