figures, the “Dietary Goals”
would mean the reduction of
per capita consumption of
eggs to no more than 156
eggs per person on an annual
basis. This would mean an
overall reduction of 2.17
dozen
billion
elimination of producing,
processing, and distributing
2.7 billion dozens of eggs
would cost America an
estimated 24,000 jobs.
Other calculations made in
the industry statement
pointed out that 1.8 billion
dollars in retail egg sales
would be lost, producing by
turnover effect, an overall
economic loss of $lO.B billion
dollars. Pullet sales would
drop by more than $238
million per year, and ap
proximately $9O million
dollars in egg carton sales
would be lost. At $9 per layer
invested in fixed capital,
over $1 billion in assets
would be idled on farms
across the United States.
Said Jack Dubose
president of the
Southeastern Poultry and
Egg Association, who
presented the industry
statement, “Indeed, the
recommendations have the
potential of putting many
small, family farmers out of
business at the very time
Congress is exploring ways
of helping the family far
mers of America cope with
the uncertainties of
agriculture.”
Despite the testimony
presented at the hearing,
Hendrick Wentink, chair
man of NCEN, stated in a

He also pointed out that

Mobilized by the general
feeling over the outcome of
the July 26 hearing, and
fearing the results if
legislation becomes tied to
the issue as it stands right
now, the Lancaster County
Poultry Association mem
bers chose to personally
present their position and
that of the more than 77
million dollar poultry in
dustry in Lancaster County,
to Paul Cooksey.
The
In a two-hour session with
the legislative aide to
Senator Schweiker, Ed
Moshier, Lititz; Ronald
Meek, Denver; Martin
Pflieger, Manheim; Vemon
Leininger, Dener; and Jack
Huber, Lititz, urged the
withdrawal of “Dietary
Goals” from circulation or,
if that is not possible, they
urged several revisions.
Following their meeting
with Cooksey, several
members of the delegation
discussed their reactions
with Lancaster Farming.
Ed Moshier, president of
the Lancaster County
Poultry Association, stated
that “the meeting was very
open, frank, and cordial. Mr.
Cooksey made it very clear
from the onset, however,
that both he and the Senator
were firmly convinced that
their position was right.”
Moshier did feel, however,
that two positive points
stemmed from the meeting.
According to the Association
president, after much
conversation on the point,
Cooksey did admit that there
is still a controversy over the
cholesterol issue.
According to Moshier,
Cooksey was of the im
pression that a Pennsylvania
egg producer could easily
switch over to raising meat
chickens if the egg situation
gets too serious. Senator
Schweiker himself,
