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. MODEL 100 D - 97,000 B.T.U. SALE SALE J2 r 7 i 95 *225.95 EQUIP., INC.

MODEL 160 D - 150,000 B.T.U. (717) 354-4271 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Jan. 17,1976 In the bidding on the grand champion steer, the price moved up slowly and stalled at six dollars a pound, 30 cents short of last year's record price Acting Agriculture Secretary Raymond J Kcrstctter then stepped into the ring to lead 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.
