DES MOINES, lowa - The
African Swine Fever eradication
program in Haiti is progressing
well, bat slightly behind schedule,

director of Government Affairs for
the National Pork Producers
Council.

returned from the meeting of the
international coordinating com
mittee in Haiti, reported his fin
dings to Richard Lyng, Deputy
Secretary of USDA.,
During that meeting, Van
Houweling told Lyng that the main
delay in the program is developing
a plan for the indemnification of
hog owners when the animals are
eliminated as part of the
eradication program. • Details of
the indemnification program will
now be completed and ready for
approval of the coordinating
committee by February 1, 1982,

A season to sow, a season to reap
Working the land held in our keep
With these words, the men and women of farming perform their
varied activities throughout the changing seasons each year.
While their methods have been revolutionized from previous hard
and tedious manual tasks to present modern mechanized efficiency,
their role as keepers of the land remains largely unchanged. They
prepare, care for and harvest the foundation of life itself.
Now is their season to plan for yet another season of rebirth of the
land. As one year ends and another begins, let's remember these
keepers of the land and the life-giving meanng they impart to the
seasons.
