Beef comments
due Nov. 15
NEW YORK, N.Y. - At the
close of a public hearing on a
proposed national beef
research and information
order, U.S. Department of
Agriculture Administrative
Law Judge Victor W. Palmer
announced a Nov. 15
deadline for filing briefs on
evidence received during the
hearing.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture published an
industry-proposed order
outlining procedures to guide
program operation under
authority of the Beef
Research and Information
Act. The proposal would
authorize a Beef Board,
composed of producers, to
collect assessments on the
sales of cattle and to use the
funds for cattle and beef
research and information
activities.
During hearing sessions in
six cities across the country,
more than 150 cattle industry
representatives and other
interested persons testified
on the need for a national
beef research and in
formation program and on
provisions the order should
contain.
Any interested person may
now file written arguments
or briefs based on evidence
received at the hearing, and
should cite, when possible,
the page or pages where the
evidence appears in the
hearing transcript. After
The ZERO CONCORD is the only system that provides stable milking
vacuum at the teat end - in parlor or stanchion barn - with a low or
high, short or long, pipeline - and without injecting air into the
milker units to move the milk Only with stable vacuum and no air
injection can you hope to reduce leucocyte counts up to 65% -
increase milk production as much as 20% - and prevent off-flavor
and rancid milk
The safe, stable vacuum is made possible by a patented, scientific
principle TWIN VACUUM whereby one vacuum milks the
cows, and a different vacuum moves the milk through a separate
pipeline into the bulk tank In addition - thanks to ZERO'S patented
SPATTER-SPRAY Automatic Washer and new. impioved, high
capacity transparent milker unit - you have built in, “push-button ’,
visible self cleaning and sanitizing of the entire system - without
disassembling And there are many other advantages

certification for accuracy
and completeness, the
transcript and exhibits from
the hearing will be available
for examination in the USDA
Hearing Clerk’s office
during normal business
hours. Briefs must be limited
to factual material received
at the hearing and five
copies should be submitted
by Nov. 15 to: Hearing Clerk,
Room 112-A, U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture,
Washington, D.C. 20250.
USDA will formulate a
recommended decision on
the order based on evidence
from the hearing and public
comment will be invited on
the decision. After full
evaluation of the comments
and other relevant material
in the record, the secretary
of agriculture may then
issue a final decision. The
next step would 'be
registration and voting by
producers in a nationwide
referendum. The order
would become effective only
if at least 50 per cent of the
producers who register vote,
and if two-thirds of them
vote in favor of the order.
