The House approved a corn loan
rate of $2.65 per bushel and a corn
target price of $2.90. The Senate
version reflected lower prices of
$2.50 per bushel as a corn loan rate
and $2.70 per bushel for target
price.
The same pattern followed
wheat prices. House approved
prices were $3.55 per bushel on the
loan rate and $4.20 per bushel as
the target price. Senate approved
prices were $3.50 per bushel for the
loan rate and $4.00 per bushel as a
target price.

The amendment, introduced by
Rep. Glenn English (D-
Oklahoma), was strongly sup

Iowa), chairman of the House
Agriculture committee’s Livestock
subcommittee.
“1 was appalled at what we
found going on at some of the giant
cattle ranches in Central
America,” Harkm said. "Cattle
were fed growth stimulants and
sprayed with insecticides outlawed
long ago in this country. Yet that
beef was packed and shipped up
here and was sold at American
meat counters right along side
good, wholesome American beef.”
The amendment passed with a
vote of 223 to 162 after much op
position from trade sub
committees.
Harkin said he is considering
legislation which would require all
meat imported into die U.S. to be
labeled as imported meat.
The House aijd Senate con
ference committee is expected to
begin discussion on the 1981 Farm
Bill next week.

PHILADELPHIA - The USDA
recently suspended a Federal
Order No. 4. pooling regulation at
the request of a Philadelphia
handler.
Herbert Forest, dairy official
with USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service in Washington,
D.C. said the action will suspend
the requirement that 40 percent ot
receipts be disposed ot as Class 1
milk by a pool distributing plant
regulated under the order.
The suspension, requested by
Michaels Dairies, Inc. is tem
porary until hearing and
posthearing bnels have been
reviewed. The change is reported
to be elective until February 19U2.
USDA suspends
javer . jum, wi.
provide for student classes and laboratories as
well as statewide shows and sales by
agricultural groups. The Ag.Areha committee
will sponsor an all-breeds sale December 11 in
Harrisburg’s Farm Show Complex consisting
of about 200 head of dairy and beef cattle,
sheep, and swine. The Blair County Holstein
Club also donated $5OO to the fund.
Forest said the suspension
results trom a decline in Class 1
tlmd milk sales coupled with in
creased production that makes it
difficult- tor dairy farmers under
the order to maintain pool status.
The principal cities in the Order
4. marketing area include
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Md.,
Trenton, N.J., and Washington,
D.C.
"The suspension will-have no
appreciable effects on the
market,” reported Interstate
treasurer Kobert Dever.
Dairymen, Inc. division
manager K.L. Struck said at the
request of additional information,
his co-op filed in support ot the
Order 4
regulation
change.
He explained that the ruling will
.include the Holly plant, which is
how soley owned by Inter-State.
Prior to the Inter-State purchase
Holly was jointly owned by Inter-
State and the ionner Maryland 1
Cooperative Milk Producers. The
ownership, said Struck, was
considered a federation ot co-ops,
which would have .exempted Holly
trom the present change.
•Holly will now be considered a
diverted milk plant,” he explained.
