—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 5, 1977 44 Crop insurance available YORK, Pa. - Beginning with their 1976 com crops, growers in Pennsylvania had their crop investment protection raised by some 15 percent or more, according to James Bucher, district supervisor. This same in creased coverage is still in effect for 1977. Federal Crop Insurance is offering the highest guarantee per acre ever to com farmers in Pennsylvania. According to Bucher, many banks and other sources of production loans are expressing interest and delight at the increase in coverage, since the strengthened collateral EDITORIAL COMMENTS [Continued from Page 10| bullheadedness is involved in this case. LARA officials are cool to the proposal that they move their gar bage to a landfill on the Lancaster- Chester County line, where lots of space is available under sanitary and reasonably attractive conditions. The LARA facility in Manor Township, on the other hand, is an eyesore. What's more owners of the Lanchester facility would love to have the ad ditional refuse since they aren’t operating anywhere near capacity at this time LARA argues that the distance involved would be too costly. John Barley counters that the distance differs by only six miles. The roads to the Lanchester site near Honey Brook are much better, which should pretty well cancel the extra six miles anyway.

Deadline for com is April 30, for tobacco it’s a month later. Taking a highly productive parcel of land out of production would be foolish to do. If LARA doesn’t realize it now, they will hopefully be persuaded to other means by public opinion which thus far has been decidedly in favor of the Barleys. Unlike LARA insists, there are other feasible and practical alter natives. On a short-term plan, the Lachester facility should be given strong consideration. On a long-range basis, incinerators and recycling facilities should be eyed. That’ll be the wave of the future anyway. And one thin LARA should keep in mind: You can't very well recycle farmland So let's do it with tin cans, glass and paper instead.

Current regulations now forbid such communications from the close of a hearing on a marketing order action until issuance of a final order. Under the amended regulations the restriction begins at an earlier stage, at the time a notice of hearing is issued, and continues until issuance of the final decision, the stage at which it is submitted for producer approval. The rule change becomes effective March 12. Donald E.
