cooperation with the Lan
caster County Extension
Service and the Farmers-
Consumer Service Assoc,
will sponsor a meeting on the

The meeting will discuss
the potential of additional
marketing outlets for fruits
and vegetables, production

tion, weed, insect, and
disease control, and
pesticide applicator license
re-certification.
Speakers for the evening
will include Arnold Lueck,
Lancaster County extension

Farmers-Consumer Ser
vices Association.

growers who have not

plicator License to use
restricted use pesticides will
have the opportunity to be
re-certified at this meeting.
Although Lancaster
County is ideally situated
with its productive soils and
abundant farm labor force,
the full potential to provide
the large urban areas such
as Philadelphia, and
Baltimore, with fresh, high
quality produce, has been
limited due to a lack of
adequate farmer operated
marketing channels. This
meeting will explore the
opportunities of using a non
profit marketing service,
run by farmers, to market
locally grown produce.
