Shelhamer advises producers
HARRISBURG - State
Agriculture Secretary Kent
Shelhamer has advised
Pennsylvania livestock
producers that Food Fair,
Inc. has been ordered by the
U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) to stop
violating the payment
requirements of the Packers
and Stockyards (P & S) Act.
Shelhamer said that the
corporation, charged m
October with failing to pay
for more than $2.6 million
worth of livestock bought
from at least 42 livestock
firms, has filed a Chapter XI
petition under the Federal
Bankruptcy Act.
According to the
Agriculture Secretary, Food
Fair owns and operates
Midtown Veal and Mutton
of Food Fair violations
Company of Newark, N.J.,
and Allen Packing Company
of Elizabeth, N.J., which
have purchased a significant
volume of Pennsylvania beef
and pork.
Shelhamer said that
Pennsylvania livestock
producers should be aware
of the situation with Food
Fair, to avoid any serious
losses due to failure on the
part of the company to pay.
Neither firm is currently
buying livestock for
slaughter.
The Agricultural
Marketing Service of the
USDA reports that all cash
sellers to the firm have now
been paid, as required by.the
1976 trust provisions
amendments to the P & S
Act.
