Eckel predicted a dramatic loss
of dairy farmers if the cost of milk
should drop suddenly to control the
surplus. PFA, he said, will work
with the milk co-ops to come up
with a program to maintain a good
price for 90 percent of the product.
Expansion of Trade with F oreign
markets is another important goal
of the American Farm Bureau,
Eckel continued, and spoke about
the trip of Farm Bureau officials to
Japan and to the Common Market
Countries in Western Europe.
Eckel concluded by
congratulating the farm group for
the work with the Clean and Green
values in Bradford County, and for
their Energy Group.
