Remember the price freeze on beef? Remember consumer and other groups twisting the facts about the amount of grain needed to produce beef? Have you asked, why doesn’t someone do something about these kinds of theings to make sure they don’t affect our industry again? Well - we now have a chance to do something. In May, 1976, enabling legislation was passed by U.S. Congress for a Referendum to be voted upon by cattle producers, which, if successful, would make available 39-40 million dollars annually for educational, promotional, and research porograms to help the beef industry. These funds would come from an automatic deduction of 0.3 per cent on the sale value of each animal slaughtered. This means that for each $lOO sold, 30 cents will be deducted. Only the packer would send money to the Beef Board. The Beef Board would be composed of 68 beef producers elected from every section of the country. These producers would activate the programs which would be funded from these monies. Pennsylvania and the Northeast, with its large Sft>arters Alternators* s^^^^^ PEQUEfI BATTERIES Lancaster Farmim consumer population will benefit greatly from the influx of these intensified programs. A voluntary clause will enable any producer to obtain a refund if he wishes. In late April, beef producers can register at the County ASCS office and return there in May to vote. How long can we survive campaigns like colon cancer scares or the eat less beef campaigns? The beef in dustry needs your help now. You have a chance to do your part. Will y0u...? Please Field day scheduled A demonstration of the new Slurry Gun operating in liquid manure systems will be held Tuesday, February EXPERT REPAIRS Ronks, PA. Feb. 5.1977 Saturda encourage everyone who owns an animal, including youth club members to vote “Yes” on this Referendum. With the decreasing amount of agricultural represen tation in Washington, this may well be the last type of self-help program that will be possible for any industry. Harry H. Stambaugh, Chairman Pennsylvania Beef Development Taskforce Green Pastures Farms Green Park, Pa. 17031 8, at 10:30 a.m. on the Charles and Nelson Habecker Farm, Lancaster. The Slurry Gun has been working in Canada on dairy, beef and swine operations and has recently been in troduced to Southeastern Pennsylvania. Chamelle Manor Farm, a father and son partnership owned by Charles and Nelson Habecker is located about two miles south of Mountville. They have 110 dairy animals and farm about 150 acres. Waste from 60 dairy cows is run into a holding tank outside the barn. From there it is pumped into an above ground storage tank where it is stored until the tank is filled. The slurry is then pumped out for spreading. 17
