Producers make the difference in egg promotion
An important crossroads
in the history of the
American Egg Board has
been reached - and now is
the time for all egg pro
ducers to show their support
for the accomplishment of
the AEB programs. As you
have probably read, a bill
has been introduced by Con
gressman Baldus, of Wiscon
sin, to allow the assessment
for funding of AEB to be in
creased (by producer vote)
to 7% cents for 1973- and no
more than % cents each
year, up to a limit of 10 cents.

The UEP Board of Directors
has voted to support the
amendment, and urges you
to consider the following
facts.
First, per capita consump
tion of eggs increased by six
eggs in 1978 - prior to that, it
had decreased an average of
four eggs per year for nearly
30 years! For the last 18
months, per capita consump
tion has exceeded the
previous year’s level -
nothing even close to that
has happened before!

Americans, through televi

by state and regional
organizations, as well as
numerous producers, to

addition to their contribution
to AEB’s unquestionable
success.
Finally, AEB has
generated additional
revenues and profits for the
entire industry, a fact which
all producers must recognize
and act upon. Already, near

must pay the bill, an invest

AEB is an industry self-help
program, no government
subsidies or loans of any
kind, an additional fact of
which producers can be
proud.
It took five years for the

has a stake in this effort You
will be called upon to contact
your legislators for support
in the near future. But for
the present the priority is to
lend your own support and to
obtain the support of fellow
producers in your area.
