A34—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 19,1981 Farm Bill Expressing strong disap pointment, a spokeswoman for Inter-State said the Senate’s action has the potential of producing big shock waves in the dairy industry. Reacting tothe Senate’s action, the NMPF, which represents more than 60 co-ops, has already hand delivered letters to every senator in an effort to make them aware of how this would impact on the dairy industry. “We still hold to our original proposal,” Dondero said. The NMPF supports a four-year bill that calls for 75 to 90 percent parity level with semi-annual adjustments. The executive committee-approved proposal will accept a minimum of 70 percent parity for the first year of the bill, providing the remaining three years are set at a minimum of 75 percent parity. “We certainly don’t want it to go any lower,” Dondero emphasized.

Dairy lea’s Snow expressed concern over the “meat-axe” approach to an orderly withdrawal of the support program. “The end result,” he said, “is an absolute increase in the consumer price of milk.” Snow explained that for years the government was a stabilizing factor for the dairy industry, which is one of the top sources of jobs in commerce. Past government support allowed for farmers who couldn’t survive financially to pull out of the dairy business. Now, current price squeezing will cause a domino exodus knocking out any farmers who don’t fit the government’s pattern for an ideal dairy operation. on timing Mengelmg, Agriculture Research Service veterinary medical of ficers, found that passively acquired antibodies for porcine parvovirus lasted as long as Ote months when large amounts were absorbed from colostrum. Since most gilts are initially bred when they are 7 to 9 months of age, the scientists recommend that the vaccine not be administered until about 2 weeks before breeding, to allow tune for active immunity to develop before conception.
