In the last issue of the American Farm Bureau Federation’s “Dairy Situation” was a one liner I just couldn’t resist repeating. After a story on the commercial use of dairy products in 1979 that showed only cheese sales had in creased while butter, powder and frozen product sales all declined, there followed another paragraph explaining that cheese was so popular because it was delicious, nutritious, available in 200 domestic varieties, and economical with no waste. Then came the punch line which someone should put on a bumper sticker for June Dairy Month “What a friend we have m cheeses” 1 Lookin’ Good Things are looking good for the new Agway-H.P.

They need an annual volume of three billion and believe that it’s only a matter of getting around to all the farmers. Reports are that refusals have been very few. Now they’re working on the fence sitters and so it will only take a few more weeks. All the organizational machinery has been set up, including the liquidation and dissolution of Yankee Milk whose assests will be sold to Agn-Mark subject to the approval of the board of directors. Even the Yankee member equity plan was amended to conform with the Agn-Mark plan. A “structure committee” has been named to form the new cooperative and has already approved by-laws, quality standards, milk promotion contributions and a dues structure, as well as r VANCO SALES j RD4, Box 300 Carlisle, PA I Phone-717-776-3494 I Please send free sample & installation I instructions I Name Address Phone tancasffer Famine, Saturday, June 28,1980—C39 WHAT'S NEW EPHRATA Chore-Time Equipment, Inc. has in troduced an entirely new air moving machine created to help farmers control their energy costs. The new fan is designed to meet the ven tilation needs of poultry and livestock confinement houses. Named the Metre Fan because of its one metre (approximately 40 inches) diameter, the-fan achieves an ideal balance of energy efficiency, air moving performance, and long-life reliability, according to naming an interim board of directors. Most of the members of the new cooperative were Yankee members or Hood Producers. All of them are contributing 94 cents a hundered pounds of a year’s milk production to raise |2B million to help finance the purchase of the Hood facilities. Agway will contribute another $2B million to close the deal when enough far mers sign up to guarantee the milk supply. Easily the most ambitious effort in eastern milk marketing ventures, it is attracting national attention and may set a pattern for similar structures if it is as successful as hoped.

A unique new compound blade curvature was recently developed for this fan. The blade design, plus the use of a new unusually energy-efficient type 230-volt motor, allows the belt-driven fan to move more air per unit of electrical energy. The fan also features heavy gauge construction with a heavy coating of baked epoxy paint on a pre primed surface. These elements combine to give the fan a long-lasting, good appearance as well as a rust free life, Martin added. This fan joins an extensive selection of fans engineered and manfactured by Chore- Time for ventilation in poultry and livestock con finement systems.
