WASHINGTON, D.C.
Secretary of
Agriculture John R.
Block has announced
commodity distribution
revisions which make
available to states an
increased amount of
bulk Cheddar cheese
and increased amounts
of processed cheese,
non-fat dry milk, com
meal, honey and butter
for household use.
To assure that suf
ficient commodities
reach those in need,
states will establish
criteria to limit
distribution to these
persons who lack suf
ficient resources to
provide for themselves.
It is expected that states
will develop standards
to target this assistance,
and USDA will monitor
these state plans.
“It’s important that
we continue looking for
new and creative ways
to distribute the bulk
commodities which are
in government
storage,’’ Block said.
“There is no reason why
a single needy family
should find itself
without access to
federal food
assistance.”
The food stamp
program is the major
USDA program for
feeding the needy. Food
assistance is also
provided in the school
lunch and breakfast
programs, the special
supplemental food
program for women,
infants and children,
among others. About 34
percent more is spent on
federal food assistance
today than in 1960.
“Besides these
programs we began
distributing surplus
dairy commodities in
late 1981," Block said.
“We have since added
some grain com
modities to this
household distribution
effort. Keep in mind,
these distributions are
temporary, emergency
efforts to augment the
government’s feeding
programs while the
need exists and while we
have some surplus
commodities available.”
The revisions also
provide an opportunity
for states not receiving
adequate processed
cheese to meet the
needs of eligible people.
In those cases, USDA
will make available to
the states as much bulk
Cheddar cheese as they
can effectively use
without waste, and
allow them to contract
with local firms for
processing. Local and
state health standards
must be met and
packaging must be for
household distribution.
Red lion FFA visits plants
places of interest in agriculture
and non-agricultural industry.
This year, the trip included a
guided tour of Harley Davidson,
Inc. of York, where the members
viewed the historical background,
parts production, assembly,
testing and preparation for
