He said he expects to do whatever work is necessary to help agriculture become the number one industry in Pennsylvania. He noted there are a number of fine agricultural laws currently on the books in Pennsylvania but said he sees a need for new legislation to improve on several of them. HB 143, a bill which would allow establishment of agricultural areas, is one such measure which could improve existing laws. It would slow the loss of farmland to non-farm applications. Gneco also said he expects to introduce and promote a com prehensive noxious weed bill early in his tenure as Ag Chairman. He said he basically supports the Grange position against autumn olive and multiflora rose Gneco said he would be using last year’s proposed noxious weed bill as a starting point for the legislation he would sponsor Last year’s bill, which died when the legislative year ended, would A “AS ■■■■ uoimiwisi < whm I CMw NU-KUMFORT is here!

Under current rules, a new law must be passed every time a plant is to be declared a noxious weed. Vice Chairman of the Ag Committee Noah Wenger, Stevens, said Gneco is a good man, a good man for the job, a man who will serve the farm community well. Wenger, a Lancaster Countian popular with the ag community, was not considered for the chairmanship because he currently lacks the seniority for such a position. He will continue as Vice Chairman. Gneco said he would rely heavily on long-time legislative aides, such as Jack Grey, for advice and technical help on agricultural measures Gneco, pointing out he was completing only his first full day as Ag Committee Chairman, asked the farm community to give him a chance to get started in his job. “I’ll be happy to work with all you fellows,” he said referring to farmers and their representatives KEYSTONE DEALERS MONTOUR.

Block. The announcement is required under permanent legislation which has been suspended through the 1981 crop by the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977 Block said Congress may pass a new law to once again suspend the permanent legislation, in which case today’s announcement will be rendered moot To become effective, marketing quotas must be approved by two thirds of the producers voting in a referendum held not later than Aug. 1. If approved, quotas would limit the quantity of wheat which a producer could market without penalty The date for this referendum will be announced later, if necessary The new Ag Chairman can be reached at his Harrisburg office phone number 717/787-8943.

In 1977, a similar situation arose and a 1978 national wheat marketing quota was announced, but the required referendum was postponed by special legislation. The Food and Agriculture Act of 1977, enacted Sept. 29, 1977, suspended marketing quotas through the 1981 crop. bobcat (717) 564-3031 (717) 788-1127 »»»»»»»»»J^ ') § S s* v M V V V V V S' V V V v 5* 9 v v v 9 V V V 9 S' y' v y v s' y v v S' S' S* S' V V V V V S' V S' V M V V S' V M V V S' V V S' V S' s V S' V V V S' V V S' S' V S' s' V s S' s' S' »s V S' S' S' S' S' V s' S' S' S' S' S' S' V S' S' S' S' S' M S' S 5S _ » s- S' S' V S' S' V s S' S' V S' S' Wis- y v V V v y cu.ll -4*
