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

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.

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. Let’s set a good
example, LARA, not an infamous
trend

WASHINGTON, D.C. - To
comply with the new
“Government in the Sun
shine Act,” the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
plans to begin restrictions at
an earlier stage than in the
past on employee
discussions about proposed
actions on marketing
agreements and orders.
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.

Administrator of USDA’s

responsibility for marketing
agreements and orders, said
