A2B—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 31,1981 Farm Organizations In other business, tne Council chose officers for 1981. (Continued from Page A 27) Only $lO.l million of $5OO million available funds have been made available. It would take a specific act of Congress to free up any of the funds for a given project. A 12-part resolution dealing with water problems in Pennsylvania was ap proved. A 13th section, calling for national assistance and funding, was left out because it failed to gam unanimous support. The thrust of the resolution was to tighten farm water conservation measures and to encourage municipalities to do the same. In one of the liveliest exchanges in recent Council meetings, a lesolution to support Rural Electric Administration financing went down to defeat. The resolution was sub mitted by the state Rural Electric Association It would have put the Council on record opposing any change to disproportionately increase the cost of electric power to farmers. Former U.S. Congressman George Goodling, representing the state horticulture association, engaged in a sharp if somewhat disjointed debate with an EEA representative about the need tor REA financing at interest rates lower than prevailing costs. At least three other groups joined in vetoing the proposed resolution. * REA said the possibility exists the group may withdraw from the Council of Farm Organizations. An old resolution calling for marketing and bargaining legislation for ag producers again was ap proved The State Food Processors Association again refrained from vetoing, choosing instead to abstain from voting They are: President Donald Parke, representing PennAg Industries; Vice President Robert Hodge, horticulture society; Treasurer, John Hoffman, Poultry Federation; and Executive Secretary H. Carl Deibert, State Grange. Named Council Directors for three year terms are: Ivo V Otto, Inter-State Milk Cooperative; Thomas Summers, Pa. Canners Association; and John Wiley, Agway. John Ackerman, an Easton far mer and PFA member, was chosen to finish the one year left term left vacant by fruit grower Robert Hodge’s election as vice president The Council submitted three names for positions on Penn State’s Board of Trustees They are Burton Hethenngton, Berwick Vegetable Cooperative; Charles Wismer, Master of the State Grange; and William Matson, of the Rural Electric Association. Under Conservation District law, the Councd must submit names for District directors.
