lower _and Heifers were
steady to weak, some
scattered late sales 25 cents

The fed cattle trade followed
a mildly uneven pattern
during the week, although
day-to-day variations were
small. However, trading was
often lacking in
aggressiveness, and buyers
were somewhat cautious and
selective as most interests
came into the week with fair
live inventories on hand. An
early price weakness was
recovered on Tuesday but
steer prices again turned
downward on Wednesday as

UDIA lists
1978 plans
ROSEMONT, 111. - The
$8,300,000 budget for United
Dairy Industry Association’s
(UDIA) 1978 national dairy
promotion programs, ap
proved by the UDIA House of
Delegates at its fall meeting,
includes;
More than $3.4 million will
be used for advertising and
sales promotion by
American Dairy Association
(ADA). Top priority for ADA
in 1978 will be fluid milk.
Cheese will be second,
followed by butter.
Close to $2 million for
nutrition research and
education programs will be
carried out by National
Dairy Council (NDC).
Seventeen nutrition research
grants-in-aid projects will be
continued in 1978 and 7 new
projects will be initiated
during the year.
Slightly under % of a
million dollars will be spent
for product and process
research and development
by Dairy Research Inc.
(DRINC). Objectives for
DRINC in 1978 include
supporting projects which
reflect most promising
potential within UDIA’s
established product
priorities; continuing
development and im
plementation of programs
enhancing consumption of
milk and milk products; and
implementing the next phase
of UDIA’s milk packaging
study, based on knowledge
gamed in 1977.
For communications, it
will spend $725,000. Ob
jectives of the com
munications division in 1978
will include developing and
implementing national
public relations programs to
communicate activities of
UDIA’s total promotion
program; building and
coordinating national
communications programs
for regional and local ex
tension; continuing con
sumer information
programs on the nutritive
benefits of dairy foods;
publicizing UDIA’s
leadership role to support
the organization’s total
promotion program; and
presenting the dairy in
dustry’s viewpoints to
opmion leaders in the con
sumer and trade press.
A total of $600,000 for
marketing and economic
research will be used. The
1978 objectives of this UDIA
division include evaluating
ongoing programs as to their
effectiveness; providing
basic marketing data as a
basis for program
development; ■ id carrying
out feasibility s.udies on the
potential of new and alter
native programs.
Over a quarter of a million
is set for program planning
and support plus affiliated
unit services.
Near one million dollars is
planned for administration
and directors’ expenses, an
increase of $40,000 over 1977,
or 5.1 per cent.
The House of Delegates,
which is the governing body
of UDIA and its
organizational arms, ad
ditionally approved 1978
funding at 95/100 of a cent
per hundred pounds of all
milk marketed within
UDIA’s member
organization areas. This is
an increase of 8/100 of a cent
over the 1977 rate of 87/100.
