BAIR Area farmers hoping for
an early announcement on the
availability of low-interest disaster
emergency loans will just have to
keep sitting in suspense for a while
longer, according to a USDA
representative who addressed the
national plowing contest banquet.

hungry while wandering around
the many activities at Pen n State's
Ag Progress Days, don’t wory
there will be quite a variety of
foods to choose from.
Seventeen food vendors will offer
a wide selection of Pennsylvania

says Russell C. Seward, Centre
County Extension director and
chairman of the local

HIGHER GRAIN PRODUCTION
Through the use of soil injection, AD-fSOIL uses
sludge to build up the needed nutrients and
organic matter in your farmland, AND at a surprising
ly low cost per acre when compared to other
fertilizers.
GREENER PASTURES
Spread either as a solid material or compost, sludge
can give you thicker greener pastures, producing
better grazing, and more hay crop yield per acre.
AD + SOIL WORKS IN HARMONY WITH
NATURE
By using the carefully processed sludge, and a variety
of applications for each specific need, we can more
than meet the needs of today's modern farmers.

October, is probably the earliest
farmers can expect some ruling
on disaster loan availability.
However, if several counties in
southeastern Pennsylvania are
declared ag disaster areas, due to
severe drought conditions, the
budget for such low-interest loans
is unlimited, he added.
The undersecretary also told
plowmen that Fanners Home
Administration will not abandon
farmers through the continuing
agriculture money crunch.
Although some 50,000 to 100,000
farmers across the country are in
“very serious trouble,” Naylor
promised the FmHA will “see
through those with any reasonable
chance to make it.”
Slowing inflation has un

of decreasing exports of
agriculture commodities.
According to Naylor, 11 million
additional acres have gone into
production every year for the past
decade, and at least 30 to 40 per-

Naylor said that fewer than 10
Congressmen now represent
districts with more than 25 percent
rural populations.
“So there’s a hue and cry from,
the brethren to make changes ii£
programs they don’t understand,”
said Naylor, pointing out the
current dairy situation a prime
example of the understanding gap.
