Berks farmers urge mushroom
i EMPLE President
Jimmy Carter is being urged
this week by Berks County
Farmers’ Association
President John K. Kooker,
Jr. to approve a report of the
International Trade Com
mission to place Quan
titative Restrictions on
canned mushroom imports.
Imports of canned or
processed mushrooms have
increased by 70 percent in
the last five years.
“No segment of
agriculture or of industry
can withstand or absorb that
amount without greatly
depressing domestic
markets,” said Kooker,
“and our growers contribute
too much to Berks County’s
economy to let this happen
without a fight.”
Kooker made this request
in a letter and is asking all
member families to write to
the President also.
Kooker’s letter follows
that of Pennsylvania Far
mers’ Association President,
Eugene Thompson. The
State Association represents
over 22,500 farm families.
“I join with President
Thompson in this most
important effort to prevent
