CALL US FOR USED PARTS Auctioneers: Blaine Rentzel, Mel Manasee, Fred Goodrich Lloyd J. Wenger - Sales Mgr. Agencies, Poultry and Egg Institute of America (PEIA) Executive Vice President Lee Campbell expressed the industry’s concern regar ding a proposed reorganization of USDA, the lack of funding for the National Poultry Im provement Plan and support for a budget increase for overseas market develop ment. Campbell, speaking on behalf of PEIA, expressed the Institute’s support of the appropriation request for the Food Safety and Quality Service (FSQS). “The need to fully fund poultry in spection activities of the agency Ls evident,” Camp bell told Committee mem bers. “The volume of product industry puts through its plants or the schedules worked by plants should not be limited by the * + s 4 a ■■ / ■* ** SEMI-ANNUAL OPEN FAT STEER SHOW & THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1978 New Holland Sales Stables, Inc.

This means providing suf ficient numbers of in spectors. It means...that the Department must use every means at is disposal to design its inspection program, to allow increased productivity and to permit the use of automation to allow increased productivity and to permit the use of automation without delay while...continuing its assurance that our products are wholesome and unadulatered.” Campbell also brought to the Committee’s attention the provision that USDA Phone: 354-4341 NQTE TO CONSIGNORS: Turn your machinery into cash.

All items sold as is with no warranty of any kind. employees who provide voluntary services to in dustry are considered as part of the Department’s personnel ceiling. “It makes little sense to us for a poultry or egg plant not to be able to get a grader (for example) because of personnel ceilings when the plant pays for that service anyway,” Campbell stated. The Inst itute submitted that ex ceptions should be made in cases where the Department is reimbursed for the ser vices of such employees. The Institute also sub mitted for the Committee’s consideration a detailed comparision of the present FSQS structure and the -'/A.:, ’■'A CLASS SALE NOTE: Saturday, April 1,1978 proposed reorganization. “Under the proposed structure, commodity specialists will be fragmented along functional lines,” Campbell pointed out. “There was a time...when the ‘buck stopped’ at a Division Director... on most all matters affecting the poultry and egg industry... the bureaucracy has been building and now we are told that we will face six deputy administrators and 26 divisions.” Focusing on the ap propriations request for the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), PEI A criticized the lack of funding for the National Poultry Improvement Plan. “Without a single set of guidelines for all states, it is conceivable that states and industry could fmd them selves working with a hodgepodge of programs similar to those which existed prior to the inception of the Plan in 1935,” Camp bell said. “United States breeders and hatcherymen export many, many millions of units of hatching eggs and baby poultry each year...failure to have a single set of these classifications would probably cause confusion among the foreign countries that demand certifications. We need the ‘official’ stamp that normally is associated with USDA programs.” “We want and need this program,” he contended. In terms of other AES programs, the FY 1979 budget for the agency proposes a cut of $9.4 million in processing, storage and attribution -efficiency research. The Institute asked the Committee not to allow the Department to “continue to erode the research funds that are needed in food marketing research.” “In the short run”, reads the Institute statement, “agricultural producers will lose without research to expand markets and reduce distribution costs...in the long run, the real loser will be the consumer through lower food quality and higher prices.” Campbell concluded the Institute statement with an endorsement of testimony •presented by the Agricultural Cooperator Council, of which PEIA is a member, for increased budget funds for overseas market development. Food prices have in creased but family income buys considerably more food today than 25 years ago. This is partly because of in creased agricultural ef ficiency and partly because consumer income has in creased faster than food prices. Farmers receive an average of 40 cents for every dollar spent in grocery stores for U.S. farm-grown food. For specific products fanners receive; 56 cents per $1 spent for choice beef. 4.3 cents for the com in a 51.5 cent box of cornflakes. 3.8 cents for the wheat in a 35.3 cent loaf of white bread. About 46 cents for an 83 cent half gallon of milk. American consumers today enjoy a greater variety and higher quality food than ever before. We are eating 24 per cent more beef, 21 per cent more poultry, 18 per cent more fruits, and 9 per cent more vegetables than we did 10 years ago. 4 Jk A 149
