—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 19,1977 34 COMMENTS FROM READERS (Continued from Page 29) is everybody’s business", an article “Dairymen’s lack of concern blamed in part for surplus milk dilemma”, and finally an ad on page 88 by Agri-King presenting congratulations and awards for high milk production are conflicting and difficult to understand! First off we have proven we can over-produce our selves in to the poor house with what land we have! Preserve ag land 7 What for? Use it for jobs, since all the do-gooders and keepers of the world will see that cheap food prevails and the farmer loses on all ends! We pay dues to co-ops and if not a co-op member we oay dues to Federal Order 4 in our area. We advertise and still are stuck with overproduction of milk! r i.ie on now, someone is not heir job or jobs, and . ner is taking it in the , and I mean a big hole in the pocket! Save Land, Over production is the farmers fault, and then present awards for high milk production all in the same issue! Perhaps I am stupid, for I do not see anyone really concerned enough to demand an opening of ex ports with the farmer benefiting, nor do I hear of anyone fired from the job of a co-op worker for a job very poorly done in the promotion of dairy products! I’m sure someone of your subscribers has an answer, usually everyone has an answer to the fanners problems, from saving land to overproduction, which all boils down to the farmer! Wouldn’t it be great if we could strike for 365 days and be paid for it? I am a distraught farm wife, and farmer! Sincerely, JoanC.Byerly Warwick, Md.

Maxine Messner continued with her essay as follows: “I was fortunate enough to participate in the milk quahty and dairy foods contest. There were 93 members in my contest, which was held at the downtown Holiday Inn. I found the contest both ex citing and a challenge. “Pennsylvania’s team consisted of Ron Good and Barry Herman, both from Ephrata, and myself. Ron received a silver medal; Barry and I each a bronze medal for individual com petition. Our team earned a silver plaque. Mr. Donald Chattm from Philadelphia was the team’s coach. “At Kansas City I had the pleasure to see a cham pionship rodeo held in the Kemper Livestock Arena. There was plenty of fun and excitement. To entertain us, country music star Crystal Gayle highlighted the rodeo with her beauty and talent.’ ’ Maxine’s twin sister, Eileen, was impressed with the American Royal, which she decnbes as “a very complete livestock exhibition with beef, swine, sheep and horses.” In ad dition, the New Holland Heinz (Continued from Page 25) $2.3 billion, and that was thought of as a give-away, said Heinz. The final costs are expected to be around $6.5 billion, he revealed. In concluding remarks, the senator assured the dairymen that Congress is not about to attack cooperatives. Despite some criticisms which have been leveled against them as a result of “a few bad apples,” Congress appreciates what the cooperative way of business is doing for American agriculture and the consumer, Heinz said.

Craig Sheaffer sum marized a day’s activities prior to the group’s arrival in Kansas City. The highlight of that day, writes Sheaffer, was a trip to Lincoln’s New Salem State Park. “Here, in this 19th Century village of log houses, barns, cabins and other miscellaneous buildings, is where President Lincoln spent a good part of his early life,” Sheaffer reported. Another highlight, ac cording to Sheaffer, was crossing the Mississippi River, and inspecting a gram-laden barge at Han nibal, a town which is almost synommous with Mark Twain. Naturally, there’s a museum there which bears his name, and the Grassland FFA Chapter took the op portunity to visit.
