Speaking before a crowd of approximately 140 at the Tread way Inn, Daugherty told the audience that the United States imposed embargo “has done irreparable damage. Because of this, the Soviet Union doesn’t want to be responsible to the United States for more than 25 percent of their wheat supply.. Compare this to the almost 75 percent we used to provide.” Although Daugherty’s presen tation centered on projections of grain supplies and possibilites should natural disasters and/or government interference occur, the audience seemed most con cerned about foreign markets for grain. Questions concerning China’s purchases prompted Daugherty to reply, “If they can’t buy it in cash, they don’t buy much. They buy as they go.

He began with a used, rebuilt machine, at about one half the cost of a new one.

She urged members to take ad vantage of upcoming community events to promote milk, and to expand their available resources through work with the Dairy Princess Committee and the Penhsylvnaia Holstein Association. She concluded her remarks by stating that our goal is to “strengthen existing programs and help sell more dairy products.” Sue Beshore of the Atlantic Dairy Association provided an enjoyable conclusion to the program by showing film dips of nine milk promotion television commercials produced during the past year.
