Barbara Lindemann
Schlei, administrator of the
department’s Agriculture
Marketing Service, said
increased emphasis will be
given to projects in these
five areas. But, she said,
states aren’t limited to
projects in these areas. “We
welcome grant applications
for any worthwhile
marketing projects a state
wants to develop,” she said.
A total of $1.6 million will
be available for approved
projects during fiscal 1979. If

Schlei said input

the marketing improvement
program. “We recently gave
a marketing grant to New
York to test the feasibility of
reporting the prices of
agricultural inputs,” she
said. “This is the fifth area
where we would like to see
more state projects.”
