left haulers with no place to
bring milk during down
tunes.
The spectre of a market
closing or changing its
source for obtaining milk
always hovers over farmers.
The Holly Co-op should give
Inter-State and MCMP
members some hedge
against either possibility.
Thursday’s open house
was not the first open house
to be held at the plant. But, it
was the first where Holly Co
op officials could actually
tell guests they were looking
Andrew Marvin, inter-State’s districts 5 and 7
fieldman, joined Pa. Deputy Secretary of
Agriculture Chester Heim and Md. Ag Depart

plagued with a number of
delays in start-up, and even
after operations commenced
an explosion at the plant put
the brakes on operations
Still to be ironed out are
the details of a tertiary treat
ment system for sewerage
and other waste water from
the plant. This treatment
station should be completed
late in 1980 or early in 1981.
More noteworthy in the
short run is the readiness in
Holly Coop to handle the
